GOING: H(8)

ANNA DANIELSON R75 1200m

Track: HVY8     True  

Genuine tempo from Pleasing leading Librero. LIBRERO (3) is a very progressive mare resuming from a spell with a couple of tune-up trials under her belt. The small field will suit her, and she can take this out. PLEASING (2) will have the fitness edge over the top pick, and was a game fourth as favourite on the Awapuni poly track nearly 3 weeks ago after setting the pace. She is the likely leader here, and with an easy time early on, she can take them all the way. JELLY ROLL (4) was a big winner at Arawa Park in his penultimate start, but then not so flash there last time out. The small field will help, and he is worth another chance. LA PARISIENNE (5) has been placed in 3 of her 4 fresh up starts in the past, and will be resuming for a new trainer here. Use the market as a guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Librero should be ready to run a big race fresh up.
