GOING: S(5)

WEATHERLEY BLOODSTOCK 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 7m  

Genuine tempo from Dare You leading Letswishuponastar. NIGHT WOLF (6) is a very consistent gelding that has found form at the right time. He has been freshened, and dropping back 200m won't be a problem. Stick with him. SHOW YOUR ACE (2) overcame a wide gate to run his best race yet when finishing third at Pukekohe last time out. He will be peaking his fitness now, and he is bred to continue to improve with racing. Each-way. LOOSE CHANGE (4) is long overdue for a win, and he has loomed to win his last 3 starts before being one-paced late. He is on his last chance with us. Include. UP WITH ACE (5) has been thereabouts in all 3 starts to date, and he meets a modest field here. He has a good gate and has each-way claims. SHINING PEARL (9) has a good draw, and with the benefit of a good draw, she can figure in the top 3 this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loose Change each-way.
