LINDSAY THOMSON 100 WINS WINTER REWARDS MOBILE PACE 2400m

Track: GOOD      

MAJOR ART (7) was successful last start by a neck in a nice return to form at this track over 2400m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Steps up a level, but he is good enough to cope. AINT NO ANGEL (5) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing ninth at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 12 metres. Each way claims. JANAKA'S DELIGHT (2) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. INDIANA ARDEN (8) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.
