Alexandra Park Race 8 - GALLAGHER INSURANCE DELIGHTFUL LADY CLASSIC YG 2YOF MOB PACE

Unbeaten Australian filly RIPPLES (9) cops a second row draw but it is hard to knock what she has done so far, scoring in her local debut last week. Worked when toughing out a Group 1 win at Bathurst prior so she has the class and fight to overcome the barrier to maintain her perfect record. ALECTO (2) looks promising. Delivered a win at just her second start two back at Addington then pushed RIPPLES as runner-up last week. Draws lower and that gives her a big chance to turn the tables. COOL FOR CATS (1) hasn't been too far from the placings when off wider barriers in all three starts to date. Can be competitive from the ace draw. WAR CRY (6) draws wider but is open to improvement off her debut placing behind RIPPLES.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr6) over 1700m at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Ripples (2:04.70) in 2yo F on April 25 at $7.90. Two runs back posted a big 5.5 m win (Fr4) at Addington (2:23.60) beating Secret Wish in 2yo F on April 6 at $13.30. Could prove hard to beat from this draw.

Looked good last start. Won by 1.1 m as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:04.70) beating Alecto in 2yo F on April 25 at $1.40. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 1.3 m (Fr7) at Bathurst (2:02.50) beating Sparkling Sea in 2yo G1 No NR F on March 29 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-2.12. Tougher draw but is good enough to overcome that and maintain the unbeaten record.
