Race Overview

Little doubt who the best horse is here based on form to date. ANNAVISTO (4) has that honour and her record fresh is terrific. Makes her a mighty tough nut to crack off a nice trial in the lead up. EXCELIDA (3) doesn't have a top fresh record so she looks a much better prospect now with the run under her belt from last time. She was okay there and typically improves sharply second time out. Interesting to see how BOOGIE DANCER (8) fits in. Her form to date is on wet tracks so has to tick the good ground box. Suspect she will cope no troubles. VESPERTINE (7) was okay behind WROTE TO ARATAKI (6) who got a cheap time of it in front there. This should be more of a test and that form can turn around without surprising.
