Mountaineer Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
PRINCESS AZARA (4) brings the best recent local form, twice 3rd in April including at Mountaineer over 1207m beaten 3.5L after racing handy, and earlier 3rd at Mahoning over 1207m beaten 2.3L. GORDA (6) was 3rd here over 1005m last start, beaten 5.25L after settling midfield, and can hold that level up in trip. CATRINA ZAR (3) also placed 3rd here over 1006m last month and maps to be in the mix. She’s A Rock (2) has two 1207m thirds this year and may find this shorter trip suitable with blinkers on.
