GOING: S(5)

LIFE DIRECT 1300m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 6m  

Faultless is the probable leader in the small field. DUJARDIN (7) has not raced since her debut back on December 14 when she finished fourth over 1100m at Te Rapa. Twice trialled and won her last one well. Drawn to be included everywhere here. MISSION COMPLETE (2) is an improver on his fresh-up run. Can pay a first dividend today. The tote quote will tell you. JUSTICE FOR ALL (6) has run two fair thirds so far. Awkward draw in this. Harder here too. Not out of this. ROCK HUDSON (5) is a two-year-old gelding (Star Turn - Amicitia) on debut. He has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race for two seconds. Drawn okay and a chance. RUFUS (4) he is drawn the inside barrier. Bred to win more than once. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dujardin is a win wager.
