O'CONNOR WARREN INSURANCE AMATEUR DRIVERS MOB PACE

Prize Money: -

DELIGHTFUL CHIC (8) should find this easier than the last couple of attempts and was good when runner-up at this circuit three back. Draws wide but finds a winnable assignment. OHOKA ACHILLES (2) is a lot better than what he showed last start and wasn't too far away in the previous outing. Capable of playing a major role with the aid of a low draw. IT'S NAE OR NEVER (4) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance when off the back line. IM NOT THE MAID (7) draws wide but is a player off a good effort for second here two back.
