Race Tip
GIMMIE'S COUNTESS (5) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on July 6 and finished sixth behind Quid Pro Quo over 7f in the G2 Golden Slipper (SAF) at Greyville. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. PRINCESS IZZY (4) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 7f at Kenilworth, and is down in the weights this time. Has the speed to be prominent. Sure to be in the finish. SUMMER LILY (1) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when fifth over 7f at Kenilworth. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. DIXIELAND BAND (6) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Kenilworth. Sure to make her presence felt.
