Albion Park Race 9 - Lunchbox Lodge Spelling Farm Mares Qualifying Pace
THE LADY DIOR (3) has had a series of tougher barriers than this and has been ticking along well, racing parked but sticking on for third last start. A better draw gives her the chance to strike. DOLLY ROCKET (7) turned in a good effort last time out when runner-up at this venue, beaten 1.4 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw but a win looks imminent. SPORTY ZARA (1) goes up in distance for the first time since she scored over 2280m at Redcliffe last month and she draws to advantage. SHES IN LINE NZ (2) is a player off a second from this barrier here two back.
