GOING: G(4)

ALLURE LASH & BEAUTY SHOWCASE CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Majestic Reward and Brial Rose up front, pressured by Rockbarton Fashion and Santasia. BRIAL ROSE (4) trained on the track and brings strong figures here second-up. Blinkers go on for this after resuming with a narrow second over this course and distance on February 24. Hard to beat in this suitable race from the good gate. MAJESTIC REWARD (12) improving filly who won well on debut two-back, before tiring late with the 58.5kg when sixth over 1100m at Bendigo. Nice drop in weight and winning rider back aboard. REASONABLE POINT (6) raced in town at her last three outings and the tongue-tie goes on today. Got lost up the Flemington straight when eleventh over 1100m on March 1. Capable of returning to form. EL PIBE DE ORO (5) was strong through the line at his third career run when a sound third over 1000m at Moonee Valley. Minor money hope from the awkward gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brial Rose to win.
