RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: STAR RULER (11) has struck some very good form in recent times and looks suited again. Expect him to be running on strongly. ILLAWONG PHOENIX (9) capable mare racing with great zest since joining the Luke Tabone stable and is one of the main chances again. PRECIOUS BELLE (8) rattled home from a mile back last start and is bursting to win again. If the breaks come her wa,y she’s a major chance. Both ANGEL OF ANGER (3) and CAMNAT (4) have been well supported in recent starts and are winning hopes. AVEIRO (7) is ready to win and just needs luck from the wide draw. Don’t dismiss. EARLY SPEED: 3,4,6 RATINGS: 11/ 9/ 8/ 3/ 4/ 7
