SELECTIONS: SOAP AND BUBBLES (8), WORDS (7), SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5), CLYMENUS (4)
OVERVIEW: SOAP AND BUBBLES (8) is a very speedy mare who should appreciate the small field and drop back from the Vicbred Super Series four-year-old mares’ series where she ran well to finish midfield in the final behind The Art Of Success. Before that, she smoked home from a mile back to be beaten just 6.2m by SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5) in a race that saw WORDS (7) finish a close-up third after settling much closer in transit. The latter ran well for third in a hot race behind Cigano and Wicked Confession last week but the task is hard here from out wide, SOHO DARKNSTORMY (5) looks the likely early leader and did win over the track and trip on August 29 while beating key rivals, while CLYMENUS (4) hasn’t had much luck his last two but had been ready to win before that with three-straight runner-up placings. NSW visitor IMA BOXA (6) galloped out of play first-up at Wagga but looks to have good ability, while MITZI SAID (2) and WITH IN REASON (3) can also figure prominently.
BACK: SOAP AND BUBBLES (8) – 2 units (win)
