Gosford Race 2 - Simply Limelight At Stud Maiden
POPPY'S FOX (5) has first look around here after a moderate run last time, finishing fourth at The Gardens over 400m behind Kalani Chris (23.75). Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SHE'S CASHED UP (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.45) in a Maiden at this track. Solid beginner who can clear the tricky draw. In the mix. ASPEN RIDGE (7) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing second (23.19) at The Gardens in a Maiden over 400m. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Winning chance. SAMJAI (1) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Yet to break through in 19 starts but has run a number of minor placings. Not showing a great deal of early speed. Top-three hope with the right run.

Has ability but remains a maiden after three starts, the most recent effort a fourth (23.75) over 400m at The Gardens. Should go very well.

Is a three start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (23.19) over 400m at The Gardens. Best form too good to ignore.
