GOING: N

STU VALENTINE FOR BLOODSTOCK INSURANCE PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD      

SHEREACTS (5) ran fifth last start at this track over 2040m, beaten 7 metres after settling back on the pegs. This should be an easier assignment so she is set to play a significant role. PRETTY LITTLE LIAR (6) has not raced for five-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. Can go forward early. GRIGORA (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1780m at this track last time out. TAYLORS FOUR (4) could only finish eighth over 1780m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Capable of a better showing.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Major Lincoln at Albion Park over 2138m in a NR 44 to 48 on November 18 at $9. Best figures should see her go well.
