SHORE GOGGLES LEILANI SERIES FINAL
Results
Open race for the girls but the likely map can see FANCIFY (1) prove hard to run down. Two starts for the Ciaron Maher yard have been good, settling back and wide in the Golden Topaz at Swan Hill last time when running on well for second. Now to 1400m and drawn inside she should be marked urgent to lead with her best figures coming over this trip, albeit on firmer ground. DUCHESS ZOU (4) is flying, just beaten by STYLISH (6) here last time out. Duchess Zou meets Stylish a bit better off at the weights and maps better but both are firmly in the mix. MISS ARIA (5) was ridden on speed last time and improved markedly when splitting Stylish & Duchess Zou. If they ride her similarly she can figure. GRID GIRL (3) has been solid in two runs back and brings different form, respecting.
