GOING: S(7)

ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES RACE 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5.5m from the 1400m to 400m, Then cutaway from 400 to finish at 3m  

Alberton Angel is expected to lead at a keen tempo. O'RIORDAN (10) runs for a new stable fresh up. The mare is proven in this very state. She is a win chance here against her own sex and the tote will confirm it. ALBERTON ANGEL (6) is a leader. Has not really gone a bad race to date. Can cope here having drawn wide in this and is a quinella and trifecta must. LISE PAREE (5) has raced well in five of her last six runs. Chance here no matter the footing on offer today tellingly. LADY BANKSIDE (8) has run well in her last two starts. Bonus eligible. Ace barrier. Worth including the mare in this. EXPLOSIVE LASS (4) has been course-proven. Well drawn and not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'riordan and Alberton Angel are win wagers.
