GOING: S(6)

STOUT ROOFING 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 6m  

Bold Belle has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. MERITABLE (4) was a good run fresh up for a new yard for fourth. Has won second up before. Big chance here. PENVOSE LAD (7) is live on a hat-trick. He can handle dry and wet ground. Multiple class riser and drops 4kg. Definite chance is this South Island raider. THE STONEY ONE (6) is a double class riser in this. Dual winner here already. Well drawn. Trifecta and first four hope. BOLD BELLE (3) is twice a winner here and has won third up before. Proven on dry and wet conditions. Cannot be omitted. SPENCER (1) is a multiple class dropper resuming in this field. Trial winner last month so is ready to go. Wet tracker. Course proven. Tote will tell you. SUGGESTED PLAY: Meritable and Penvose Lad are win wagers.
