Gosford Race 2 - Simply Limelight At Stud
NOIR (5) had been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage seventh (23.84) at Richmond. Can bounce back. NOT AGAIN (7) stalked the lead from a middle box before hitting the front turning and lifting to score (22.02) at this track in a Grade 5 over 388m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to measure up again. LIGHTNING LOTTE (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 388m. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can feature again. JACKPOT CHEVY (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage second (23.23) at The Gardens. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4.5 lengths third (22.32) over 388m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 388m at this track in a handy 22.02, beating Princess Ada. Has run blistering time here with a 22.02 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
