GOING: H(10)

ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. COSMOPOLITAN (6) is on debut. By Anders and hails from the Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall stable. Twice trialled and won the last one. Dam has left Cindy Falls (4 wins). Bonus eligible. Win chance here drawn well. CAPULET (3) is a colt by Belardo on debut. Five times trialled for three seconds and a fourth. Dam has left Broken Sword (1 win). Sure to be well backed in this. BELLA'S BOY (2) is a first starter by Niagara out of Bella Blue. Third on May 27 at Te Awamutu in his only trial. Good barrier draw will assist his chances greatly. RECONVENE (1) ran a fair fourth on debut and can only improve. He has drawn out again. Will revel in the extra 200m. TELLUM (5) was a very distant fourth on debut. She should be an improver drawn the ace. First four hope at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmopolitan looks the one to beat on debut and she is the lone bonus eligible runner. Capulet is the biggest danger and he has had multiple trials so rather experienced.

First starter by Niagara out of Bella Blue. Only trial was May 27 at Te Awamutu when third over 850m. Some relief with the 3kg claim for an apprentice. Worth watching for any market moves.
