Huge Slide Stakes

Race : The HUGE SLIDE(IRE) Stakes – Stakes – $70,000
Track : Queensland (AUS)
Restrictions : Fillies and mares, 2 years old
Distance : A mile and three sixteenths on the Turf

A field of twelve two year old fillies will go around on Saturday in this staying test for the babies. The pace should be set by two of the strong fancies GOLDEN COAST, MR TOUGH GUY with the rank outsider HUSSAR also likely to push forward. This could set it up for DAN MISSES ML who will settle near the tail before running on strongly in the stretch.

Dan Misses ML finished in front of NORTHERN TOWN in the Grade One Saint Cloud and but Northern Town has drawn better here and may turn the tables.

The early money has been for Dan Misses ML and thats the one I like dropping in class and will be running on strongly. DISTORTED PRIZE is at good odds and will run well.

The Late Mail likes Mr Tough Guy. Should get to the lead and prove hard to run down. Dan Misses ML drops in grade from her last start and will run well while Northern Town will be running on.

The main chances appear to be
