GOING: S(5)

RACECOURSE VILLAGE Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +6.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.00)  

Angel Ladder, Neil and Seams Logical to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. DAGGERS (5) is an interesting runner, first-up from a six-month spell for new trainer Tony Gollan. Tackled three black-type races when prepared in Victoria, placing once. Goes best when fresh and the two trials since coming north have been solid. Big chance with the aid of a lovely barrier. COSMO CENTAURUS (1) returns after a four-month lay-off. Has three wins to his name, all at this stage of the campaign. Carried today's weight to victory when first-up at Doomben last prep. Hard to fault. Flying filly ANGEL LADDER (10) followed a couple of near misses with a well-deserved win by the barest margin over this course and distance a fortnight back. Will zip along in front again and with just 54kgs after the claim can give them something to catch. LA BELLA BOOM (12) has been off the scene for 15 months and returns for a second campaign. Trialling well but let the betting tell the story. ISTI STAR (11) had post-race issues first-up. Big subsequent trial winner who can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daggers should be ready to win first-up.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Doomben Cl3-Sw on February 7 over 1110m, 8 len behind Zoubaby with 57kg at $5. Second-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 15 at Randwick Highway-C3 on February 28 over 1000m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Brave Xena carrying 58kg at $3.90. Very fit after two runs back and with luck from the wide gate is an each-way hope.

Found her best form now. Gets in beautifully after Fenlon's claim and is a live chance once again.
