RACE TEN
NEEDLE (3) was starting off 20m here last start under discretionary conditions and after stepping cleanly was back in the pack when finishing off nicely to be 7m from the winner. Runner-up at each of her previous 3 starts including by the narrowest of margins 2 starts back, she can capitalise here.
MIRACLE RISING (7) worked home in good style here 3 starts back from a 10m tape to grab the bronze and was attacking the line strongly his next run, putting the writing on the wall. That was franked last start from the 2nd line under mobile conditions he arrived with a well-timed run to score.
GEE UP NEDDY (6) features in a stable change and will line up for Jack Butler for the 1st time. Not raced since September, he opened the pipes with a nice trial and has podium claims.
OUR OVERANOVA (13) returns from a freshen with his last start back in late December. A beaten fav on that occasion he was only 5m from the winner in a strong 2138m mobile trip. His record is brilliant and he can never be ignored.
