RACE EIGHT
IM NORMA JEAN (2) will take good benefit from her latest outing when 1st up from a freshen. A winner of a mares qualifier back in December she was freshened and taken to Tamworth where she claimed the Golden Guitar final from the front. Lighting the lamps here she can look to hold them off.
LIFES BLACK (9) capitalised on gate 1 last start and over the mile trip was able to get a comfortable opening 800m before ramping the tempo in a tidy closing 800m. This will be new territory for him in chasing the speed, yet he should be able to trail through nicely at the start and look to challenge.
PINUP BOY (8) will need plenty of luck from this gate to find some space but if the gaps arrive he can be charging late. A career best win rate last start came when allowed to roll in front and he just needs some luck to podium here.
SOMWHEREOVARAINBOW (10) has been in the money at 6 of his 7 starts for the season and will come into this after being freshened. Last start he found the line soundly and 2 starts back was strong from the breeze when 2nd to CASINO GRIN.
