GOING:

GRANDSTAND EATERY IN THE PHAR LAP RATING 75 2200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     True  

PROSERVE (3) had no chance last start when passively ridden from a wide gate, and then plugging on in a sprint home. He loves the poly track here, and the small field will greatly enhance his chances. A form reversal is on the cards. SAINT BRIGID (4) hit peak fitness third up at Oamaru 11 days ago and was far too good for BM65 company over this trip. She has won at Cambridge on a similar surface, and with 2kg less to carry, she can repeat the dose. PEECEE PUSSYCAT (1) showed a bit more fight when ridden in front at Oamaru last time out, and hopefully, he is ridden in the same manner here. A 3kg claim should help him maintain his form here. MR BULLY TEE (2) will be backing up quickly from his last start eighth here over 1600m on the turf 5-days ago. The extra 600m will suit him, and he can figure in the top 3. ON THE RIVET (5) and DA VINCI GIRL (6) make up the small field and have rough top 4 claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Proserve to win.
