GOING: S(5)

HARCOURTS MONARCH 1150m

Track: SOFT6     Out 3.5  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. ODDS AND ENDS (1) set the pace but found little in the run home when finishing third as a hot favourite fresh up at New Plymouth 18 days ago. He will be better for that effort, and from a good draw, he could be the one to peg back again. DEPRIVE (2) had won a trial prior to his top run for second when making his debut at Pukekohe. He has a tougher draw this time, but will carry 2kg less this time. He won't be in this grade for long. SIBLING RIVALRY (17) battled on well for fourth on debut at Taupo, and she has Craig Grylls in the saddle here. Each way claims. PARTY TIME (10) has been to the fore in all of her 3 trials, winning the most recent of those at Ellerslie. Watch closely. KITTEN HEELS (9) cops a wide draw for her debut, but the Noble/Kennedy combinations are white hot at the moment. Include everywhere. SUGGESTED PLAY: Odds And Ends each-way in a field with many hopes.
