I'm assuming she will back up... Readyforcatherine was a very good run last start and the form line from that race is very strong. She drops 3.5kgs from that race and looks very hard to beat. At Ease comes out of that same race and she was unlucky and will improve in this.

Fullazz, Stormy Miss and Divine Madonna to fight out the minors.

$ 5.50 is juicy for at ease, i have just had it into Eremien & Paratroopers...

Readyforcatherine meets her better at the weights and looks a goo bet too. I think thats the quinella.

 

[Nuffs]

couple of chances here

i'm going with A COUNTRY GIRL. great formlines through some decent horses in the last few starts. hit the line great last start and 4th up should be fit now. at $5.50 is worth a little bit

AT EASE was unlucky on Monday - i should know because i backed it :x - but i think it will have the tables turned by ACG

i think the barrier will stop READYFORCATHERINE. otherwise, she's a good chance

 

[Tim Brasher]

Divine Madonna is the class horse of this field..Has been very unlucky this preparation and has been placed fourth in three group races most notably behind Mnemosyne last start in the Coolmore. Gets its chance tomorrow and if I do say this horse owes it to me. Ive backed it every start this preparation
For the multiples i'd include Ready for Catherine, At Ease, Fullazz and Stormy Miss

Racenet Preview -

Race 2 JAMES H B CARR STAKES (1400m) at 12.10pm

Joice’s thoughts – The Freedman-trained Readyforcatherine is very consistent and turned in a terrific NSW debut when edged out in the PJ Bell (1200m) under 58.5kg. Drops to 55kg and appears suited up to 1400m. In-form and should be fighting it out. Divine Madonna is coming through the strongest form-lines and from the inside gate should get a great run. Dancesteps switched right on when the blinkers were applied in winning a recent Rosehill trial and could be the knockout runner at double figure odds.

Payne’s thoughts –I think Divine Madonna will be a good bet tomorrow. At her first Sydney run she recorded super closing sectionals and made up good ground in a leader dominated race. She was then ridden closer in the G1Queen Of The Turf on the 7-day back up and was only 4 lengths behind Mnemosyne at her top. Reported to have worked great this week and she will be hard to hold out here. Fullazz is an interesting galloper. She looked to have the world at her feet winning on debut then had some time off before coming back and having a fair preparation but this time in she has looked good and will go well here while Dancesteps can be the big improver here. Blinkers going on and she is much better than what she did first-up.

Joice’s Tips – Readyforcatherine (5), Divine Madonna (2), Dancesteps (7)
Payne’s Tips – Divine Madonna (2), Fullazz (3), Dancesteps (6)
