GOING: S(5)

MANSON BUILDING / SPEIGHT'S 1200m Track: SOFT 5 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Out Of The Picture. FILTER (10) had a genuine excuse when finishing seventh at Riccarton nearly 5 weeks ago. If she has not missed any vital work in the interim, then she is capable of figuring in the top 3 for the first time. CAPULET (19) is making his South Island debut, and he was sent out as the favourite on a heavy track when on debut last winter. The blinkers are on, and any market confidence has to be respected. TURN THE TIDE (2) has been knocking on the door, and she has made the field after a few scratchings. Hard to beat. CELESTIAL FLAME (11) makes her debut and has trialled in the North Island. She might want more ground, but any positive market moves will be worth following. RHEINHARDT (1) makes his debut, and he has been given plenty of time to mature. A good draw should give him every chance to make a positive impact early on. Check the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watch Capulet closely.
