RACE COMMENT

COOL AND CLASSY (3) has been the standout QLD filly as a 2YO and continues to be the standout as a 3YO. She was second in the Oaks to Soho Americano when working to the lead mid race and just being run down late. She looked sharp in her heat when dashing away nicely to score. She has gate speed and if she leads she will take plenty of running down. RUBY RULES (1) was narrowly defeated last start after showing gate speed to lead in the early stages. She draws well again and may look to take a trail on her classy stablemate Cool And Classy. She can seemingly get a bit keen in her races so being driven with a trail may see her best suited.  ARRIVE (4) has brilliant early speed and it will be a difficult decision early whether she looks to launch to the lead or not. If she elects to launch over and can’t get there her chances of winning would significantly diminish. She was an impressive win in the heat of this series over Ruby Rules.  HUNGER STRIKE (10) has been in very good form having scored 3 consecutive second placings her last 3 starts. She looks likely to secure a good run off the speed in this race and should be thereabouts the minor money.
