Marburg Race 1 - Embrook Horse Transport Maiden Pathway Pace
PERFECT LOU (3) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1660m at Albion Park. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. VICE CHAIRWOMAN NZ (2) resumes here after closing her last campaign with a fourth at Central Southland Raceway on December 14. Expect her to be prominent. TUSCANS COURAGE (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1850m at this track. PHOTO BOMB (7) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1780m at Redcliffe on March 11.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 14 m by Three Under Par (2:15.80) in MAIDEN on March 11 at $19. At the run before 9th (Sr1) over 1780m at Redcliffe, well beaten by Wilpeka (2:13.70) in MAIDEN on February 25 at $4.80. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.
