Rotorua Race 2 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES
DRAGON BLOSSOM (1) resumes for a new yard here. She has placed in two of three runs right here. The mare is drawn well and is bonus eligible here too in this. Definite win chance. BALLBEENA (2) the filly has run well in both of her starts this time in. Drawn out but gets a 4kg claim here. COOL CAT (3) ran well on debut. She is drawn out. Still a trifecta and first four chance here. POLLYISACRACKER (6) ran a much better race at last start. She is bonus eligible. The 4yo mare is drawn to be a hope. SMART TIP (4) ran a decent race at last start. Has to be included here after getting the same 4kg claim in this.
