The Future Of Racing: Pgr Tv Stakes

Stake: $791

ALNWICK NEWS (2) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a one length second (29.45) in an A7. Key player on best form. USS ARGONAUT (3) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (29.55) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. SWIFT HAIRY (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was an A7 winner two back at this track. Can find the frame this time. CLASSY DOLL (6) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by 1.3 lengths in an A8 last time at this track over 480m (29.81). Rises a grade but expected to measure up.
