RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOAP AND BUBBLES (3) is a quality filly, which has won five of her seven starts to date and should prove hard to beat again. She raced fiercely in the front running role and was run down late when second behind Ideal Moth at Shepparton then finished off best from off the speed to score in a mile rate of 1.53.8 last outing. MITZI SAID (8) ran a big race when second behind Go Miki last week, where she sprinted quickly from midfield in a final half of 55.9 seconds. This is a race of less depth so she is capable of going one better. BUBBY TO BASE (6) returned to her peak form when she finished off best to defeat Ohoka Niko (won since) at Wagga last outing. She is a versatile mare and is worth thought again. CENTOFELLIE (4) ran a big race for second behind SOAP AND BUBBLES (3) two starts ago then worked into third via the sprint lane behind Go Miki last week. She has returned from a spell in peak form and is ready to break through for a win. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 4,6 RATINGS: 3/ 8/ 4,6/ 1,7/ 2,5
