GOING: H(8)

AB LIME & RTL R75 1200m

Track: SOFT7     True  

Strong tempo assured with Magnastar, Miss Harley Quinn and Rochello rolling to the front. MOVE ON (1) finished close up in third place at Wingatui in her penultimate start, and then was seventh but not far from the winner at Cromwell 3 weeks ago. She drops back to 1200m, which is a query, but she has the right draw and can take this out. QUICK TAP (5) has grown a leg since joining the Ebony Turner stable, winning both of her starts this season at Cromwell, the latest of those when on a 2-day back up. This is not much tougher, and with 3kg less to carry, the hat-trick beckons. MAGNASTAR (3) set the pace but had no rest and faded in the run home when resuming here 4 weeks ago. He may try similar tactics here after drawing in the pole position, and he may take some pegging back this time. MISS PEARL (4) resumes from a spell for the in-form Ebony Turner stable. She has not had any public trials, but has not missed a cheque in 2 starts on this track. Watch the market moves. MORE SASS (6) has been mixing her form but gets in light here, and is worth including in all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Move On will be hard to hold out.
