Harlow Race 7

238Mtrs (D5)

Prize Money: $664

THE OLD OLE TALE (3) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Harlow over 238m behind Artys Corner (16.70) in a D5. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. PLAYING NICE (2) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in a D5 at Harlow (16.09) and making it three straight placings. Bold showing expected again. BOREEN PEARL (6) turned in a moderate run last time when sixth at Harlow over 415m behind Notimetospare (28.83) in an A7. Should be about the mark. BRITBULL POPPY (1) cannot be underestimated.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Harlow then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a D5 at Harlow over 238m (16.09). Consistent performer who is clearly the one to beat.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in an A7 on December 26 over 415m at Harlow behind Notimetospare beaten 8 lengths (28.83). Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
