GOING:

ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES 1400m

Track: SYNTHETIC     True  

Pinky Pie to take charge ahead of Ayumi at a solid tempo. AYUMI (3) made her South Island debut as the favourite here nearly a month ago, and faded very late in the piece to finish fifth. She will carry 2kg less this time, thanks to a claim, and she should be very hard to beat, even with the step up to 1400m from a tricky gate. Follow your money. PINKY PIE (9) makes her South Island debut after losing form in some handy maiden fields up North earlier in the season. She has gone close to winning a race in the past, and she did win a Waverley trial earlier in the month. She is the main threat to the top pick, and she is close to breaking through. RUSSIAN BLUES (5) has been placed in 3 of her 4 starts since relocating to the South Island, including all 3 on this circuit. Stick with her on an each-way basis. PRIVATE TREATY (2) has been narrowly beaten in 2 of her last 4 starts, and she has been trying to win a race for some time. She drops in trip, but has been freshened, so don't risk her. OUR SALLYANN (1) has to be respected as well. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ayumi can win, and so can Pinky Pie.
