Gowran Park Race 8 - Ladies Day July 25Th Handicap (0-60) (Div 2)
A PRETTY PENNY (8) scored by 2.5L at Ballinrobe last time. Could make it back-to-back wins. Jockey Julian Pietropaolo got the best out of her and keeps the ride again. Looks to be improving so another bold performance expected. WEDDING YEAR (15) is fancied after two good runs this season. Latest was a 2L third over 1600m at Dundalk thirty nine days ago. Must have a chance if adapting back on turf. BORORA AURA (9) rates a contender making handicap debut. Last seen finishing third in a maiden and that was a promising effort. More to come. CANON LAW (14) improved for switching to handicaps when 3L fifth here in October. Each-way claims on comeback.
