GOING: G

CHRISTCHURCH - NZ'S HAPPIEST CITY RATING 65 1600m

Track: AW     True  

The race pace here in this Mile event looks not too bad at all. HIGHLAND FLING (6) is a partial class riser in this field. Won her Maiden here. Drawn out but can cope. Has not run a bad race tellingly this time in. BOOT IT SCOOTER (5) both of his wins have come right here. Racing much better than one third in his last five runs shows for sure. Quinella and trifecta must in this. TOUGH TIME (2) the riding change here is a real plus. Two of three runs this time in have been quite good. SPROCKET ROCKET (3) won her Maiden here fresh up. Well drawn and gets a 4kg claim. DA VINCI GIRL (7) is a four-time winner here. After a 3kg claim is not out of this at all for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highland Fling and Boot It Scooter are win wagers.
