GOING: D(4)

Nzb Insurance Pearl Series Mdn 1200m

Track: DEAD4   Showers Early   Rail: True.  

Speed anticipated from Galaxy, Moyrabella, Shezachoux, Rosetta and Nancees Gold. Decent speed in the field but not too many legitimate chances for the trifecta and first four. It is a Pearl Series event and eleven runners are eligible for a bonus if they win so that in itself creates pressure. THE LAST SAMURAI gets a best draw in her career and is the one to beat. The debut second by DEB was sound and showed zip. Has to be top tier today. The awkward gate for MOYRABELLA can be overcome here. Galaxy from the ace can be in the finish and the tote should give bettors a prompt. Bring To The Block was solid when third on debut. Drawn wide but cannot be omitted. Rosetta can do something in this at first start. Trial winner. Tote will be the true tell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looking to play both The Last Samurai and Galaxy.
