GOING: S(5)

ARROWFIELD WOODLANDS STAKES [LISTED RACE] 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 800m-400m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.4).  

Pace looks strong from Zoubaby pushing forward. LAZZURA (3) was unwanted in betting on debut ($26) when swooping late to score in fast time over 1200m at Kembla Grange three weeks ago. Back in trip and has the figures to win again. GRACEFUL ARTIST (5) promising filly who got well out of her ground on debut before rocketing late to score a nose win over 1000m at Muswellbrook two weeks ago. Has upside and is not to be underestimated. ZOUBABY (12) two career runs have been encouraging and racing like the 1100m will suit. Covered ground from the wide gate when a gritty fourth over 1000m at Warwick Farm on May 8. Can hold a forward position and secure a top-three placing. LET'S GO BARBIE (10) made up ground on debut and can progress. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,5,12,10.
