|---|---|---|---|---|
|
LA CONCHA (2) scored at Addington three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when sixth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway, beaten 6 metres. Hard to beat from a superior draw this time. MOUTON CADET (14) is in good form at present. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 4.5 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Stepping up a level this time, but on his best form, he is capable of testing his rivals. SOFIA ROSE (1) has drawn perfectly for her, and she is better than her last-start eighth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. OCEAN OF TEARS (11) cops a tough gate, but she has been near enough lately. Each way value.
