GOING: H(10)

CAPTIVANT @ KIA ORA PLATE 1200m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 6.21)  

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1200m journey. Scratchings have decimated the first race. VANLEE (8) showed plenty of pace and didn't lie down when the pressure went on, only to miss out narrowly when resuming over 1100m at Hawkesbury last start. This is not a deep maiden so with a little natural improvement she can go one better. DYAMI (2) impressed first-up at this track then was too bad to be true at Canterbury last time. Worth another chance with visors going on for the first time. RACH (6) did little when resuming at Canterbury a fortnight ago. Can improve but a win would surprise. The other runner EDORADO (3) is on debut and probably needs this hit-out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vanlee to open her account.
