RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: This event is the Australian Pacing Gold Prelude for the two-year-old fillies. IDEAL FRANKIE (7) looks like an up-and-coming star of the future. Her trial performances have been brilliant and her debut victory was outstanding. She has a tricky barrier to overcome, but she looks the class runner of the field. SWEETSUCCESS (4) is a first starter for David Abrahams, with Ellen Tormey taking the drive. She is by Sweet Lou out of a Somebeachsomewhere mare and was purchased for $15,000 at the APG Sales. Her trial performances have been sound. BREAKING NEWS (1) is a NSW visitor making her raceday debut. Her trial form looks encouraging and she should map well from the inside draw. TEMPEST NOIR (5) is another first starter, prepared by Anne-Maree Conroy. She finished third and fourth in her two trials and should benefit from the experience. Also respecting GRANDIOSA (3), the most experienced filly in the field, having already had three career starts.
