Avondale Race 2 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 3YOF 1200M
GIN AND BARE IT (3) Solid win by just short of 3L last start at Rotorua and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Been in the money each start this campaign. Goes very close. PORTLAND (1) Handy enough when winning by 3/4L last time at Wanganui and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Expecting to settle positively. Has to be strongly considered. CONFECTIONIST (5) Competed in a tight contest last start at Tauranga. Should race on the speed. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Capable of getting into the money. ELITE CHOICE (2) Scored a victory by 1 1/2L last start at Pukekohe and can find a nice position from the draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Will give a big sight.

Showed promise when winning by 1 1/2L last start at Pukekohe on a heavy rated track and has a positive barrier. Should get going late. Has strong claims.

Odds of $12.00 and mediocre performance when 8th last run at Ellerslie but dropping in class. Expected to be flashing home. Good value.

Was agonizingly close last start at Tauranga. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation. Can win.

Odds of $34.00 and finished 5th last run at Ellerslie. Has plenty of early speed. This field likely to be too good.
