GOING: H(10)

ASHFORD MOTOR LODGE CHRISTCHURCH POURAKINO HANDICAP 2147m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace is not too bad for a two-turn opening event at this meeting today. RUBY SUNRISE (8) wet ground suits her admirably. Her best can win this and the big roomy track will suit too. ZA BEAUTEOUS (3) is a class dropper here. Eachway all day here. WHINY MEOW (4) is not going too badly this time in so far. Wet tracker. Chance. DIAMOND RIVIERE (7) her last two runs have been good. Place and first four chance. SCARLETT'S PROMISE (6) is a wet tracker. Class dropper. Only up 1.5kg. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ruby Sunrise and Za Beauteous are win wagers.
