Winton Race 4 - VETSOUTH EQUINE SOUTHERN BELLE SPEED SERIES (HT2) MOB PACE
CHICAGO SKY (2) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2600m at Addington. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. ULTIMATE CULLECT (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 21 metres at Cromwell over 2600m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. AKATEA (8) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. TOSANA (4) is worth some thought despite her last-start eighth over 1609m at this track on February 8.
