FLIPP TRANSPORT LTD THREE-YEAR-OLD SPRINT 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 6m  

Zorero and Faultless can pave the way. FAULTLESS (3) has been racing well in some tougher fields lately, and his last start is best forgotten in Listed company at Ellerslie 3 weeks ago. Expect a form reversal in a small field here. On top. TOO SWEET (1) finished fifth in the G3 Bonecrusher Stakes 2 weeks ago over 1400m, and she is nicely placed over 1200m, especially in a small field at this easier level. Stick with her. ZORERO (4) was an effortless winner at Waipukurau on debut nearly 5 weeks ago. There is more depth to this field, but he will continue to improve and can give the top picks plenty to think about. PERFECT HABIT (2) did not do much last time out in the same race as the second pick, but will have a positive jockey change with Joe Doyle stepping into the irons. Stick with him. PROSPER (5) won on debut and then tackled some tougher company. She resumes from a short spell that would have done her the world of good, and she can't be totally ruled out of a top 3 finish in a 5-horse field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Faultless to win.
