---|---|---|---|---|
The race pace looks to be between the stablemates Pullyoursocksup and Top Actress. This Pearl Series event for fillies and mare has just the one runner eligible for a bonus should they win. PULLYOURSOCKSUP looks a good thing after a 2kg claim to be carrying 59.5kg (she will only be giving away a maximum of 2.5kg in this). Her last two runs have been super for a third and fourth at Listed and then G3 level last start. She has dash so can control the speed of this or take a sit and then kick the run home. EXCELSIOR ISLAND is the lone two-race winner in the field so must be a quinella prospect. The only rider to win on this mare is back aboard today. TOP ACTRESS is in the same yard as the top pick and may well pace wise help by leading and giving her the dream drop. She can be in the finish too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pullyoursocksup is a straight win bet. A trifecta and/or first four combination could be taken anchoring her stablemate Top Actress for second only tor force some value.
