Gore Race 7 - SSBA SOUTHERN BELLE SPEED SERIES (HEAT 3) MOBILE PACE
EBONY ARDEN (5) scored at Ashburton Raceway two runs ago before having her colours lowered when second at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 2.25 metres. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. TOSANA (8) made it two in succession last start when she got the cash by 2.25 metres over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of another big performance. CHICAGO SKY (3) is next best after finishing runner-up when resuming over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway last time out. ANITA MARY (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at Central Southland Raceway over 1609m.

Unlucky last start. Lack of early speed is her concern but well competitive.
