Bank on the 'little darling'

THE first Jackpot of the day could be lone of the exotics to get involved in. Race five is over 1200m off at 14h45. It is a Progress Plate for fillies so our fate will be known early as this opening leg presents a possible banker.

Mon Petit Cherie ran a huge race last time when second to Double Grand Slam in the Grade 1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville 21 weeks ago.

Double Grand Slam has won since and continues to impress. Mon Petit Cherie may need her seasonal debut and clearly prefers further than today’s 1200m, but despite all that, she can race fresh and even if not 100% tuned can win. She is classy, and her acceleration in the closing stages might simply be too good for the opposition.
