Race 9 Overview

Hard not to be impressed by ASFOORA (2) last time. Took control a long way out and ran fast time without ever being troubled. Sure to see more pressure and more competition this time but if she can repeat what she did there it is going to take a good performance to prevent her from following up. ZAPATEO (3) was a touch flat last time but the win prior was good and she has a bank of ratings that are strong for this. The potential for a firmer surface is a big plsu for ISOTOPE (10) who has been freshened up and is plenty good enough to be winning here. The best of WRITTEN BEAUTY (7) would also stack up well and her latest hinted that she was in form at the moment. Big winner at this carnival in the past.
