GOING: S(5)

PEARCE RACING LADIES SYNDICATES HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Diego Dynamite, Miss Flirtacious and Twain's Angel to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. Hot race with plenty of progressive types. TWAIN'S ANGEL (3) sat just off the leader and made a mess of them when heavily backed first-up, remaining unbeaten by 2.5L. Returned where she left off last campaign and looks a filly destined for better races in the future. Can improve again second-up and put these to the sword. THE BOSS LADY (1) was strong to the line last start when getting the job done narrowly. That form may get a push in R1 with Lexington City. Campbell takes 2kgs off this time and the rise in trip is no issue. Wouldn't surprise to see her bring up the hat-trick. BRAVE SPIRIT (5) rattled home from a long way back last start and draws a better gate this time. Include. MISS FLIRTACIOUS (7) was a good winner last start and can be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Twain's Angel can remain undefeated.

Three-year-old gelding (Spirit Of Boom - Loveletter) will no doubt benefit from the seven trials leading in today's debut. Last trial second in a Belmont Park trial over 1000m April 15. Drawn well and seems fit enough to figure in the finish.
