GOING:

AVON CITY FORD SUPERSITE SELL OUT ON NOW MAIDEN 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Gadabout, Batiras and Ezellohar. KINGSBEER (5) resumes from a long spell for the powerful David Walsh stable who presented him to run second at a recent trial last month. He meets a thin field, and is sure to be well found in the market. On top. RESERVOIR (1) showed talent on occasion last prep, and his recent freshen up would have done him no harm. With the right run, he will be hard to hold out. BIG EXIT (6) had an excuse at Wingatui last start when getting too far back from a wide gate. She has a superior draw this time, and she can figure in the top 3 in a field like this. GADABOUT (7) finished third at Ellerslie 5 weeks ago, and makes her debut in the South Island. She only has to run up to her last start effort to be a big threat here. Follow the market moves. ROYAL ASSENT (8) has been placed twice from just 4 starts on this surface and that form should hold up nicely. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsbeer can take this out.
