Race Preview

STARIANNE (1) is a talented mare who resumed over 1400m and proved too strong, winning by 1 length as favourite at Pakenham. She ran fourth in the G1 Australasian Oaks over 2000m last time in and will be very hard to hold out. FEARLESS WRITER (2) is a consistent type who has been thereabouts in all three runs this time in. Draws well here, just has to run the trip to be in the finish. CITY OF LIGHTS (5) is the half-sister to Winx who ran on strongly to score over 1550m last start. Any rise in trip will suit and she's got plenty of upside. FANCIFY (3) comes over from Adelaide in good form. Narrowly beaten last time but maps ideally with McDonald on, should be in the finish. TACUMWAH (12) won well on debut at Ballarat and can measure up.
