Race Preview

Plenty of in form horses here and it looks wide open. SEEKING STARDOM (3) is one of those, coming over from SA as a winner of three of her past four starts, winning over 1600m at Murray Bridge as a $1.50 favourite last time out. This looks a nice race for her and the ratings say she can measure up interstate. KEEP YOUR COOL (2) has also won her past two, proving too good for another in form horse at Caulfield Heath last tme out. Up in trip again is a slight query but it's hard to doubt the Maher stable and she should get every chance. SMOKIN' PRINCESS (1) ran on well at Pakenham to grab second having won well fresh. Stays at a mile here which is perhaps the knock but she's going very well. DELTA SKY (7) has won three in a row and stays right down in the weights. She can certainly win again. STYLISH (8) was close up last time and has each way claims.
