GOING: G(3)

Vets On Riverbank (Bm65) 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Partly Cloudy   Rail: True | Heavy Dew.  

Gladstone Belle, Monie O'Ceirin and Rhiza can all be prominent early. LADY STYLE found the line well to finish runner up when resuming at just her second career run having scored over this distance at Hawera on debut. Fitter so can improve in terms of both fitness and experience. Good pace in the last event and likely from the outset too so it may in fact be continuous pressure applied. The top two chances clearly are the stablemates LADY STYLE and HOIST. The former ran super resuming for third and drops 1kg in this incredibly. Bad barrier but a mare with some scope. The latter was a stupendous third fresh up and gets a senior rider on today and he won the maiden aboard this gelding. ALL CHARM down in grade and claiming 3kg is eachway at possible overs. The Bandito is a trifecta and first four chance. The well drawn visitor Dylan De Lago is a sly hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to back both Lady Style and Hoist.
