RICCARTON PARK   03 May 2025
 
GOING: H(10)

SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT ULTRA ON TAP RATING 65 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Porthouse Lady to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MOON ROCKET (4) won his Maiden here and can win this after 4kg claim from the ace draw. Will be well backed in this too. HIVARI (2) the 4yo gelding is an improver on his fresh up effort. He is a course winner and has raced super here. Quinella and trifecta chance here without a doubt. MOON MONEY (10) she ran her best race in ages at last start. Well drawn and can be in the trifecta and first four here. PORTHOUSE LADY (9) is an improver on her last start. She can be in the finish here after so many scratchings in this field. MYSTIC OCEAN (8) is a class riser here. Looks to be a filly with some scope. Small field helps. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moon Rocket is a win wager.
