GOING: H(10)

GROUP 1 RACEDAY PARTY - 14 SEPTEMBER RATING 65 1600m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace looks solid here in this big closing field to end the days racing at Riccarton. HARMONIOUS (5) both of her runs this time in have been very good. She gets a winning 1kg claimer atop today too. Can score here for sure and she is well drawn. MR TWINKLETOES (1) is a class dropper. Wet tracker. Wide draw. Fourth in a trial last month. Definite danger in this line up. FABLUE (6) won well fresh up for a new yard. Can handle the 2.5kg rise. Winning rider atop. DENARAU (11) had solid backing fresh up for a new yard. Twice placed when second up. Wide gate but is still an each-way chance in this. BLANCHE (9) she has won on dry and wet ground. Yet to pay a dividend here but that can all change today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harmonious and Mr Twinkletoes are win wagers.
