ROTORUA ITM STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

There looks to be some pace and pressure here in this G3 for fillies and mares only at 1400m. LA CRIQUE (1) is a class act. Dual winner at 1400m. Has won on dry and wet ground. Double G1 winner already. She could be too good against her own sex. MARY SHAN (13) produced a good run fresh up. She is a quinella and trifecta must in this field of fillies and mares. I'MUNSTOPPABLE (14) is a very much in form runner and has won on dry and wet ground. She could well keep winning. KARMAN LINE (6) she has won on dry and wet ground. Winning rider atop. Cannot be excluded. IMPENDABELLE (12) ran a very game race fresh up for third at G3. Has won and placed second up. She has won on dry and wet footing. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Crique and I'munstoppable are win wagers.
