Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Lovelock to take up the running at a moderate tempo. O'CEIRINS BELLE (8) relocated to the South Island, and she resumed in good style when charging home from the rear to finish third over 1600m at this track. She strips fitter second-up and looks ideally placed to go very close with a similar finish. QUINTO (5) never really got into the race at Riccarton last start after settling back, but his prior win over this trip at Ashburton was very good when scoring by a nose. He has Corey Campbell back in the saddle, and he can make amends on his home track. TAVI ANN (4) has not had much luck, and even though she was out of the money, she was not beaten far at Riccarton last time out, nearly a month ago. She slides down in class, and a form reversal is on the cards. FLAMBOYANCE (1) found the line only fairly on the synthetic surface last start, and he will be at his peak fitness for this easier assignment. He has won his only start here, and he is expected to finish a lot closer this time. Each way. LOVELOCK (3) likes it wet. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tavi Ann each way value.
