GOING:

GRANDSTAND EATERY IN THE PHAR LAP MAIDEN 2100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     True  

Moderate pace with Private Treaty rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. PRIVATE TREATY (3) has yet to fire in 2 starts on this surface, but she is stronger this year, and her exposed form is better than any of her maiden rivals. Hard to beat for ours. GOLDEN LINING (4) has been thereabouts this year, and she made up some solid late ground at Ashburton 2 weeks ago. The small field here will help, and she has each-way claims. UNWOKE (1) had a tough trip when trapped wide at Ashburton, and he still managed to finish second, albeit a well-beaten runner-up. He can go one better here. THE BOSS GIRLS (7) has been a touch weak on occasions, and her poly track form is only modest. She meets a thin field here, and having Bruno Queiroz in the saddle is a big help. Each way value. KESSEY (5) has raced her way into form, and she is trained on the course, which will help with her first race day start on the poly surface. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Boss Girls each way.

The start before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 14 at Ashburton on April 2 over 2200m, on a slow track; 0.1 len behind Quinto with 56.5kg at $5.70.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 14 at Ashburton on April 2 over 2200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Quinto with 56.5kg at $14.80. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Ashburton on March 12 over 2200m, 4.5 len behind Taimate Staar with 55.5kg at $39.20. Should hold the form and she appeals as one of the hardest to beat.
