ASHBURTON RACEWAY   10 May 2026
 
GOING: N

FOWLER HOMES ASHBURTON MOBILE PACE 2400m

Track: GOOD      

BETTOR THAN LIZZY (7) has had three runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last time when she finished fifth over 2000m at Rangiora, beaten 4.5 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can take care of this line-up. LOUS PINUP GIRL (5) finished third last time out, beaten 2.75 metres, in a nice return to form at Rangiora over 2000m. Tackles a similar assignment and she can find the winners' circle. ROVERT DECISION (2) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2000m at Rangiora last time out. Worth considering. STAR ON THE ROCKS (9) cannot be ruled out but needs a bit of luck from the tricky draw.
