Ashburton Race 8 - Allenton Pharmacy Fillies & Mares Mobile Pace
SHAKIRA (8) finished tenth last start, beaten 13 metres at Addington over 2600m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MYTHICAL (5) won at Ascot Park Raceway two runs ago before finishing fourth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 7 metres. This should be an easier assignment so she is in the right race to return to winning ways. KOURTNEY KARDASH (9) is one of the main contenders after winning her past four starts, the latest at Hawera three weeks ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. BONNIE'S GIRL (7) has been back to the trials since her last run and can take this out.

Well-beaten 8 days ago at Addington over 1980m, before that 12th (Sr5) over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 25 m by Lonnekers (2:28.90) on February 6 at $84.70. This looks tough.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Izacheapee at Mt Harding over 1609m in a FM on January 26 at $10.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Hi Hopes at Rangiora over 1950m on February 6 at $14.90. Can play a role in the finish again.
