Keen tempo with Blueridge and Malevo prominent.
LITTLE THIEF (2) did not take long to win a race from the Kevin Myers stable, and he will be backing up 3 days from his maiden victory by 3 lengths at Reefton on Wednesday. On top again. RUBIROSA (6) is a stablemate of the top pick, who was third as a hat favourite 3 days ago over 1400m. The extra 410m is ideal, and he will be hard to hold out. AYE YOU (1) has never finished in the top 3, but has run some big fourths in his career. He cops a wide gate, but benefits from a 3kg claim, and can't be left out. THE BOSS GIRLS (7) is still a bit on the weak side of things, but her third at Reefton on Wednesday was good. Stick with her for all top 4 combos. MALEVO (5) will eventually make it, and his last start, fourth at Reefton 3 days ago was good enough to put him into multiples here as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Little Thief can win again.
