Albion Park Race 5 - Qbred Breeders Classic Final - 3Yo Fillies (Group 3)
COOL AND CLASSY (5) beat some smart fillies when winning the Group 1 NSW Oaks at Menangle earlier this month and since then came from the back row to win last week's heat. That victory was her eighth win in nine attempts at the circuit and distance so she has the statistics behind her. ARRIVE (1) is a filly on the up and took her strike rate to 50 per cent when she led from much wider to easily win her heat. She has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw and that could see her hard to catch. LONDON BABY (8) is another coming off a heat win, adding to a handy record here. She draws to track ARRIVE so could prove dangerous. RUBY RULES (7) broke in her heat but was good in the NSW Oaks series prior, winning a heat before a fourth to COOL AND CLASSY in the final. She is worth including along with THE LADY DIOR (6) who was only 1.7m behind Cool And Classy when resuming.

Three-year-old filly is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track. Last start posted a big 8 m win when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (1:57.10) beating Leave It To Lucy in 3yo No NR F on May 23 at $2.25. The ace draw could see her continue her winning ways.
