Gosford Race 6 - Simply Limelight At Stud
NOVA REIGN (8) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when second (29.95) at this track in a Grade 5. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Likely to improve sharply this time. IRINKA WAYNE (7) is having his first start around this track. Comes here a last start placegetter at Maitland in a Grade 5 (22.49). Has good speed and will be prominent from out wide. Expected to be in the finish again. MR. BOMBASTIC (6) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (29.75) at this track in a Grade 5 over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to feature again. MISS BANSKY (4) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 400m at Maitland. Will need to improve to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Nowra (30.65) in a Grade 5, finishing a 18 length eighth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 515m at this track. Hard to entertain this time.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (22.63) at big odds over 388m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Cannot be ruled out.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at Maitland when a 2.75 lengths third but did run a solid 22.49 over the 400m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Lines up from box 8 for the first time after finishing a 15 length eighth at Wentworth Park (30.55) in a Grade 5. Should have the speed for this.
