ARROWFIELD SHOWCASE MISS FINLAND 2YO FILLIES HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners but expect plenty of early pressure. ZOUTASTIC (11) Zousain filly resuming. Far from disgraced on debut when a plugging eighth over 1100m at Rosehill three-and-a-half months ago. Further improved now and since ran second in a recent 900m trial at Rosehill. Expected to be very competitive here. RIVANA (1) will be at her top for this fourth-up and a win looks imminent. Loomed late when a narrow second over 900m at Scone on April 16. Drawn to get the right run and expected to go close. THIS ONE TIME (2) encouraging debut when stalked the fast tempo to finish second over 1000m at Quirindi on February 23. Resumes today and gets the blinkers and tongue-tie on. FIRST FEELING (5) Russian Revolution filly out of a Written Tycoon mare on debut for the Peter & Paul Snowden yard. Has looked sharp in her recent trials and worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,1,2,5.
1 4x92 RIVANA
