ARROWFIELD SHOWCASE MISS FINLAND 2YO FILLIES HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: 4m from 1200m - 300m where cutaway applies .  

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. EXCELLUNA (2) resumes. Raced keenly on debut with a battling sixth over 1000m at Randwick last January. Primed with the two trials and the tongue-tie goes on. Expected to go close. MISS ANDREAS (4) Anders filly from Portare on debut for the Lou Mary yard. Runner-up in her lone trial over 800m here. Will push forward and run a solid race. MISS EXCEE (5) Exceedance filly from Night Flyer on debut for the Perry camp. Has won both trials in good style and sure to be thereabouts despite drawing out. SPEED ENCORE (7) Russian Revolution filly from Dejavu Rock on debut for the Michael Freedman stable. Finished third in her recent trial over 898m at Canterbury. Worthy contender from the good gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,4,5,7.
