MICHAEL MONTGOMERY MEMORIAL 2100m Track: HEAVY 10 Out 6m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reasonable tempo with Pure Bars probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SWEET BUT PSYCHO (2) is proving to be rather frustrating, and she let us down 3 weeks ago when dropping into this grade and finishing fourth when running on dourly late for fourth. We are giving her another chance in this. Each way. MO CHARAID (4) has also disappointed his supporters in 3 of his 4 starts this prep. He is bred to cope with more ground, and the extra 600m could be the key to his form reversal. Stick with him. PURE BARS (11) dropped back to 1600m at Ellerslie 5 weeks ago and failed to flatter. His form over this trip prior to that was very good, and he can make amends in this, despite his wide gate. PRISCA (10) drops back from a competitive BM75 field at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago, and she is capable of a top 4 finish this time. ALASKAN (5) was solid fresh up at New Plymouth, and then fought on gamely for fifth at Ellerslie 3 weeks ago. She is peaking at the right time, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweet But Psycho each way.
