GOING: H(10)

ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1215m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Expecting Gin And Bare It to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. GIN AND BARE IT (1) has finished runner-up in each of her 2 starts to date, following on from an easy trial win at Avondale prior to her debut. A good draw should help early on in the day, and she is ready to break through. IMPRESSIVE BELLE (3) was worked up prior to the start of her last race, and was above herself in condition for her fresh up that day. She strips fitter, and is good enough to figure in the top 3. MISS PARKER (2) was very disappointing last time out after a solid effort for fourth when resuming at Ellerslie before that. She is worth another chance, so stick with her. WHATZ DONE IS DONE (5) was not bad fresh up from a wide gate at Te Rapa just over 5 weeks ago. She has a superior gate this time and should be a quick improver. TOSS (7) raced greenly on debut after winning a trial prior to that very easily. She will be better for the experience, and she is worth including in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whatz Done Is Done each way value.
