RACE FOUR
CARLAS PIXEL (11) is one of the top mares in the country and despite the tough gate the cream should rise to the top here. Powering home to victory in the heat of the 4YO Vicbred, she was sent forward in the final and worked hard when 3rd. She will be short and her ability justifies the quote,
ELENIARK (8) returns from a Vicbred campaign where luck deserted her. The trip wasn’t a complete washout, with the talented mare scoring an M0 victory when leading throughout over the Melton 1720m. She will need some luck from this gate but sighting an opening look for her sprinting hard.
BETTORTHANSPECIAL (7) was sent for a freshen following a sub-par run when a beaten fav last time out. Trialling in good style she returns and despite receiving no favours from the car-park, she is a classy mare with 24 wins here at AP.
ELLE YEAH (3) is a last start G1 winner after taking out the NSW Breeders Challenge mares title. After securing the perfect trip in that, she might find this a step up but must still be respected.
