|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of speed with Alberton Angel, Enterprise and Natural Momentum leading Miss Harley Quinn and Cluedo Lane. GIRLS LIGHT UP (6) went for a spell after posting a brace of wins at Arawa Park, the latest of those being in July over 1400m. She had found it hard to win up until that point, and has since relocated to the South Island to join the powerful Terri Rae stable. A recent trial will ensure that she is ready to rumble fresh up. BAKHITA (14) failed to handle the holding heavy track when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Wingatui. Her form last season in Sydney was good enough for her to be very competitive at this level. She strips fitter and should pick up her next win at short notice. Follow your money. ENTERPRISE (10) fought hard to claim second last start over 1200m at this track, just a head behind as the favourite. She is up in class, but drops 4kg in weight, and is set to figure in the top 3 again. QUEEN OF NAPLES (12) is a very progressive mare who ended her last prep with a brace of poly track wins at Riccarton. Her trial form on the turf is good. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Girls Light Up could make a winning start to her South Island career.
