HAWKESWOOD MINING AND WALTER PARKER MEMORIAL 1200m Track: SOFT 6 Out 3m from 1400m to 350m Cutaway, Remainder True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo is anticipated with Unusual Affair and The Fed Express kicking up to hold out the next wave. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (4) was badly in need of her fresh run at Ashburton just over 3 weeks ago. She had won a trial before that and should be spot on with her condition now. She showed enough when trained in the North Island to say she will pick up another win at short notice. LINARA (1) has found it hard to win another race, and has continued to edge closer to another success in her 3 starts since relocating to the South Island, including her last run here 15 days ago when finishing runner-up. Hard to beat. THE FED EXPRESS (5) has been disappointing in both of her starts this prep, and he should now be ready to show some good form now. Include in all combinations. LEINSTER (7) has been below his best recently, but he is suited in this field, and a form reversal would be no surprise. MININJAGIRL (10) was narrowly beaten here when resuming, and is normally just as sharp second up. Stick with her at some good value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boss 'N' Highlands to win this.
