Bankstown Race 2 - Bankstown Sports Club Pace
SAPPHIRESNDIAMONDS (4) filled a minor placing at Menangle two runs ago before finishing eighth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 19 metres when well supported. Meets a comparable field and she can give this a mighty shake. ROSES ARE BEST (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.25 metres from the winner in second over 1980m at Tamworth. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she can take this out. IMA SHINKANSEN (1) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2125m at Penrith a week-and-a-half ago. HALLOWEEN (3) is better than his last-start run for seventh over 1609m at Menangle would suggest. Can fall into a place.
