Gosford Race 2 - Simply Limelight At Stud
SORENTO TO EXCEL (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (22.73) at Bulli over 400m. Key runner on his best form. CESSNOCK CURTAIN (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (29.87) at this track. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. DONE DEALING (6) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fifth (23.31) at The Gardens over 400m. Form here sound including two wins. Cannot be left out. PRINCESS ADA (7) can measure up with the right run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 5 on November 10 over 400m at Bulli behind Pay It Forward beaten 6 lengths (22.73). Placed two back at Bulli. Capable of a strong show.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 2. Looks suited and should go close.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at Goulburn when a 2.75 lengths second but did run a blistering 19.74 over the 350m journey. Place prospects appear best again.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she clocked an outstanding 22.74 over 400m when just missed, at The Gardens. Should be in this for a long way.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Nowra over 520m in 29.57. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 520m at Nowra at Grade 5 level. Has claims on best form.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at this track. Looking to others this time.
