GOING: H(10)

TAVIS COURT 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Diavoletto has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BOY (1) probably should have won a race by now, but has been a touch on the weak side. He has a senior hoop replacing an apprentice after 2 solid efforts to kick off this prep, and with a return to maiden company, he is the one to beat. HUMZA BEY (3) has been placed in both of his public trials to date. He has been given plenty of time to mature, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he will be ready to run a bold race on debut. Use the market as a guide. AMAZING SON (2) was third in the most recent of 2 public trials. Jonathan Riddell keeps the ride, which is a good sign, and being from the Lisa Latta stable, you know she will be ready to run a race. IT'S SUMMERTIME (8) is a 5-year-old mare having just her second start after finishing well back on debut at Arawa Park after showing pace to lead early on. She has the pole position and should naturally improve with racing. Include in all combinations. DIAVOLETTO (6) resumes from a spell and has looked forward at the trials. Don't risk her. SUGGESTED PLAY: There are many chances in this field, but Boy looks to be the most likely.
