GOING:

NZ HORSE AMBULANCE TRUST 2000m

Track: AW     True  

Tarzador and Awaken to stride forward and take up the running. ARJAY'S FLIGHT (3) has been placed in his only run on this surface, and he looks to be perfectly placed with a 4.5kg drop in weight from his last start at Te Rapa where he was ridden positively early to find the top before dropping out. He can sit just off the pace this time, and should go close to winning. KEEPER'S HEART (1) is an Irish import who peaked on his run when resuming here 12 days ago, and he will have the side winkers on this time. His only win came on a poly surface, and with an extra 700m being ideal, he is expected to improve sharply. Each way. SILKDEGREES (4) has found it hard to win another race, and was runner-up here 12 days ago by half a length. She has top 4 claims here. TARZADOR (5) raced a touch too keenly here last time out, but he is worth another chance in a field with a long tail. WRY SMILE (6) failed to fire in the same race as the top pick, and he is also better placed in this field. He has been placed 7 times from 9 starts here, and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arjay's Flight can win.

Second-up. First-up after almost two and a half years ran last in a small field at this track on August 28 over 1300m, 14 len behind Confectionist carrying 56.5kg at $12.20. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field in the LR KING GEORGE V CUP at Leopardstown on June 6 2024 over 2414m, 2 len behind Portland with 59.5kg at $3. Will come on from that run and is one of the leading chances.
