ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1600m Track: SOFT 5 Out 7m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Tulsa Turnaround leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. DUJARDIN (11) was a beaten favourite fresh, and then was third when well in the market at Whanganui last time out, just over 3 weeks ago. She was a trial racing in a clockwise direction before those efforts, and with Opie Bosson in the irons for her peak run, she is the one to beat. MISISSIPI GAMBLER (2) made up a stack of late ground when finishing third 12 days ago at Te Rapa over a mile. If that trip is not too short for her now, then she can have a big say in the finish here. WEE NESSY (10) put in a brave effort for second when running on wide at Ellerslie 11 days ago. She has always promised to win a race this season, and she can have the last say here. INTEGRITY (12) finished not far off the third pick when finishing in the money in the same race at Ellerslie. She is only having her third career start, and won't be in this grade for much longer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wee Nessy each-way.
