Gosford Race 2 - Simply Limelight At Stud
PONTELLA (2) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when third (22.41) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. RED AURA (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at The Gardens in a handy 23.07 beating Lagnicourt. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. LISA'S VOGUE (7) had won three in a row before finishing fourth (23.54) last time at The Gardens. Bold showing expected. MARG'S VOGUE (4) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Comes off a (23.07) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at The Gardens. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Key chance and should go close.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.41) over 388m at this track. Expected to go very well.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he was an impressive winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Mix 2/3 at this track and clocking a fast 22.26 over the 388m trip. Will need to find best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Gardens over 400m. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on February 20 over 400m at The Gardens behind Lochinvar Grace beaten 7 lengths (23.54). More than capable and has to be included.
