PLAY SMARTER

Despite still having something to learn, ANGEL OF PEACE improved again when third on her handicap debut at Redcar earlier this month as she pulled clear of the rest of the field. With stamina in her pedigree, the 3-y-o is taken to open her account as she goes up in trip Damascus Finish could be the main danger, ahead of Angel de Luz.
