GOING:

HERMAN'S HERMITS 2 AUGUST CHRISTCHURCH MAIDEN 1200m

Track: AW     True  

French Fille to take charge ahead of My Girl Candy at a good tempo. CAPE HORN (2) is in a very winnable Maiden here after just two starts. Placed on debut here and the riding change could well be the key in this. JETSTREAM (4) has been fourth here in his last two starts. He can pay a dividend today. YAK SHA (1) is a triple placegetter here. He has been running well of late and is a trifecta and first four chance. FORSETI (6) ran an absolute shocker fresh up for a new yard. All-weather suits her racing style as shown by her former yard. The tote price here will be intriguing. Each way all day in this lineup. FOREVER YOUNG (3) has run four placings so far and can do something in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cape Horn is the one to beat. Forseti looks to be the dramatic improver on her fresh up miss for a new yard.
