Gosford Race 5 - Simply Limelight At Stud Max 150 Pts
NO PEAS PLEASE (7) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless Maiden winner (29.94) at The Gardens, scoring by 10 lengths. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. SENTOSA (1) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Dollar Keeping (30.75) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Should be about the mark. LAKOTA COURTNEY (2) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when second (17.44) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. GLOBAL ACE (8) has not raced over this journey but still warrants respect.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th over 520m at Wentworth Park beaten 9 lengths (30.75) behind Dollar Keeping in a Grade 5 on September 10. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Was out of placings last time (30.26) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.70) over 388m at this track. Drawn out wide but is among the better hopes.
