NEW YEAR PLATE
Results
DANE ON TOUR (4) was a dominant winner last start at Caulfield over 1600m, leading all the way to score by 2.25 lengths. Will have no issue with the extra 100m and from the inside gate expect she goes close again. ARIA ELECTRA (10) is racing well with consistent placings of late. Did start favourite behind Dane On Tour at Caulfield and can turn the tables. HARD SQUEEZE (3) comes back from 2040m at Moonee Valley but her two runs back have been good and she should be at peak fitness now. In the mix. THINK I'M FAMOUS (12) finished third last start over 1700m at Geelong when she did her best work late, beaten a head. Will be running on. GRETA MOON (8) won first up and can go on with it.
