THE BACHELORS RED ROSES STAKES
Results
CIGAR FLICK (9) ran in the G2 Danehill Stakes last start and tried hard when beaten 2 lengths over this track and distance. Back to her own sex here, McDonald rides, if she can land midfield and find clear running she'll be hard to hold out. MUMBAI MUSE (4) won her maiden race last start, taking out the Listed Brian Crowley at Randwick. Back to 1100m here but brings the right form and could be drawn the right side of the track. HEART OF GLASS (16) was dominant on debut in fast time at Ballarat. Creates plenty of interest here. SALTAIRE (3) charged home at Moonee Valley last time and could be suited to the straight. HONOR GALORE (12) was just even in the Danehill but looked smart prior and can improve.

Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at Caulfield 3yo F SWP on October 14 over 1200m, head behind Sheva carrying 56kg at $7. Lightly raced, should be thereabouts.
