GOING: N

FAYE PHELAN MEMORIAL PACE 2040m

Track: GOOD      

GEM PUNTER PETE (4) is racing well with seven top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a second at Albion Park over 1660m, likely to have a similar run this time in. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. ACHROMATIC (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.75 metres from the winner in fourth over 1660m at Albion Park. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is a major player. BETTERTHAN POPSY (6) disappointed last time when seventh over 2138m at Albion Park. Can turn things around. ZOOM PARTY (3) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1660m at Albion Park.
