|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Vanilla Storm leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. LYDIARD PARK (1) has a massive private reputation off the back of some impressive trial form, but the betting public has yet to see any of this ability on race day. He will be stronger again after another break, and it is now his time to stand up and be counted. Follow your money. HELLO MY DEAR (7) has the form on the board, and she is overdue for her first win after finishing second as the favourite at Whanganui last time out. Stick with her on an each-way basis. SCARLETT SPELL (8) bounced straight back into form when finishing runner-up at Hawera nearly 3 weeks ago, following on from a fair effort at Ellerslie when starting from a wide gate. She has the ability, and her first win is not far away. TRAFALGAR (6) makes his debut after 3 public trials, including his best effort yet when finishing second at Tauranga late last month. Check the market moves. LOOSE ENZ (5) was runner-up to the top pick in his latest trial, and he makes his debut from a wide gate. Follow the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lydiard Park to win.
