GOING: S(7)

HUNTS FARM SERVICES LTD 1200m

Track: SOFT7     True  

Illicit Dreams and Ima Brazen One should set a strong clip. IMA BRAZEN ONE (1) should have the wood on this field after back-to-back wins in wet ground against similar fields. She can take up her usual spot in front from the pole position, and the hat-trick beckons. ILLICIT DREAMS (2) resumes from a spell, and she usually comes to hand quickly. The small field will suit her, and with a trial at Ashburton in late May under her belt, she should be ready to run a bold race in this. CAITLYNS WISH (5) is backing up quickly from her last start at Te Rapa, and as long as the track is heavy, she is right in this. Stick with her. TAVIS COURT (3) ran a sound third fresh up at Trentham 9 days ago, and he is always much better second up. He loves his home track here, and another bold effort is on the cards. CHAJABA (4) will be peaking third up from a spell, and he cannot be underestimated. PRIORESS (6) failed in Stakes company at Tauranga 2 weeks ago, but she can make amends at this level. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ima Brazen One should win, but Caitlyns Wish can go close.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 31-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Trentham June 10 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Tolstoy with 58.5kg at $2.60. The start before that favourite; won by 0.6 len at Otaki May 16 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Legally Binding carrying 56.5kg at $3.40. Well placed. Rates highly and should prove hard to beat.
