AU - Moe - Race 2

Small field, but intriguing race with a few who have been knocking on the door clashing with some who have impressed at the trials. Will side with one of the raced in ETON AFFAIR (2), who has finished second in two runs this time in and draws well. That experience and fitness could prove vital. HERE'S MATILDA (7) is a first-starter from the Maher stable who didn't do a lot in the first two trials but jumped out of the ground late at the latest to edge out handy stablemate Star Trip. Can make a winning start. CANNY MISS (6) was well-supported on debut and while beaten 3-1/4 lengths, she was far from disgraced, will be better for the outing and might also be better suited by the extra distance. RED RABBIT (8) is proving costly and was again supported last start when disappointing, but is better than that. Heavy ground would be a query but she's good enough to bounce back. NARILAO (4) has won a couple of recent trials, albeit ridden out, but could give a sight on speed.
