Race Preview

Onto our feature of the day and HEDGED (5) does look the one to beat. He was a bit disappointing as favourite in the Meteorite at Cranbourne two back but bounced back with a dominant 2.5 length win in the Xmas Stakes on Boxing Day. Seems to have found his groove for the Bedggood yard and and will take beating again. The class of the field is MAHARBA (1) who has to lug the 60kg. He didn't really fire last time in but tackled some hot races at G1 level. This is more his go and remember he was unlucky not to beat an airborne Overpass in The Quokka last year. AVIATRESS (3) is a ripper mare. She got the bob over Boston Rocks two back which ties in with Hedged, third to that horse in the Xmas Stakes last time. She'll be right there again. AZTEC RULER (4) is a WA sprinter with form around the top Perth horses as well as Rey Magnerio who would be favourite in this. Wary. SAMANGU (8) can improve up to 1200m but needs to.
