AU - Kembla Grange - Race 1

Not a strong maiden to kick things off. REGAL (9) looks the stand-out after a bright debut at Hawkesbury last start, racing on the pace then battling on gamely once clear for a close fourth. Should appreciate a bit less pressure over the extra 1f today. Looks her race to lose. LET'S BE HONEST (3) returns for a third campaign off a five-month spell. Beaten just 1.4 lengths first-up last prep over 6 ½f at Newcastle then lost her way a bit. In the mix with a similar return this afternoon. The speedy LOREAL BELLE (4) showed a lot more resistance last start, leading for home then only succumbing late in a 7f maiden here. Freshened up to come back to 11f. Might take some catching. ALPHA ZETA (1) started favourite but didn't kick on as hoped first-up at Hawkesbury. Lightly race four-year-old mare capable of bouncing back in this company. WEEKDAY FLYER (6) resumes. Showed glimpses of ability in the maiden prep. A solid return will not surprise.
