JAMES BULL RANGITIKEI CUP 1600m Track: SOFT Out 6m
There looks to be ample pace and pressure in this Listed Mile event so hard to see too many breathers being allowed. ISLINGTON LASS (4) is an in-form mare and handles it dry and wet. Wide gate but she can cope. Proven third up. Can win this for sure. SUMI (3) has been racing super for ages. Class riser. Handles it dry and wet. Same yard as the top pick. CHANNEL SURFER (8) gets his best draw in ages. Class dropper. Same weight. Trifecta and first four chance here without a doubt. LIGHTNING JACK (2) has been placed in three of six runs here. Senior rider on. Impossible to omit now he is back in form again. PRIDE OF ASPEN (6) is a multiple-class riser here. Drops 5kg so can be in the finish. Placed in both runs on the track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Islington Lass and Sumi are win wagers.
