GOING: H(9)

THANK YOU PHAR LAP RACEWAY 1600m

Track: HVY9     True  

Solid tempo likely with Cutout, Hayworth and She's Sinatra prominent. HAYWORTH (10) had her last start in the Warstep Stakes where she faded out of it after racing handy throughout. She has remained in the South Island with the Jess Land stable, and the just over 6 weeks between starts would have done her no harm. She is perfectly placed at this level from a good gate, and she goes on top. SHE'S SINATRA (6) capped off some improving form with an overdue but deserved maiden win at Ashburton just over 7 weeks ago. As so often happens once the penny drops, she can go on with the job. STORMS AHEAD (1) was put aside after just 2 starts in the spring. He is at his best on a heavy track, and the market will be an important guide to his chances. GLOBAL JEWEL (4) is a promising mare who does not want it too heavy. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hayworth can take this out.
