GOING: S(5)

OAMARU SCAFFOLDING 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

LOOSE KNICKERS (1) ran a solid race for second on a heavy track at Wingatui nearly 7 weeks ago, and though it is hard to put a horse with his record on top, he could get the job done in a modest field. LATER BOY (8) has been racing consistently, and though she is much the same as the top pick in terms of ever going to win a race, she gets another really good chance to break through. SURPRISE INSIDE (11) has been building her fitness, and she will relish getting out to 1600m for the first time since relocating from the North Island. Each way claims. PAY BACK (5) only finished ninth on debut over 1300m at Wingatui 2 weeks ago, but he is bred for this trip and further, so stick with him. Include in all top 4 combos. JUSTASIP (4) did not fire on debut over 1200m, but expect a much improved effort in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surprise Inside each way.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old mare by Embellish out of Divine Ransom. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Ashburton over 1200m. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.
