Nzb Insurance Pearl Series Mdn 1200m

Track: SLOW9   Rain Late   Rail: Out 12m.  

DOUBTLESS BAY can lead from the handy gate and brings strong form. He’s placed 5/10 and gets her chance for the James yard. MISS CAMPBELL has placed both runs back and just missed as a hot favourite the latest. Draws inside and Bosson goes on. The danger. SANSA STARK led and placed on debut and will be improved. This Pearl Series race for fillies and mares only has nine runner in it eligible for a bonus should they win so that alone will create pace and pressure through competition for cash tension. DOUBTLESS BAY is an on pacer and drawn to be the one to beat. Course placed before and is bonus eligible. The riding change on MISS CAMPBELL makes her a top two must and she too is bonus eligible. A resuming YEARN is strong enough now to start winning after showing enough last campaign. Trial winner late last month. Bonus eligible. Regal Dancer from the ace is an include and the tote will be a pointer with this yard. Swissilicious has shown enough to be a trifecta and first four chance. Clairetheway is down in grade and one for double figures. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Doubtless Bay.
