|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting Cutout to take up the running with Su'par Irish and Nick The Greek close at hand. THE BOSS GIRLS (15) has been well supported in every run when trained in the North Island, and she has failed to live up to her good trial form. She has relocated to the South Island, and though she drops back to a mile, her last run was just over 5 weeks ago, so her fitness won't be a concern. Hard to beat in this field. NAMELESS (12) had a genuine excuse for not showing much here 11 days ago over 1200m. The step up to a mile is the key this time, and she is worth another chance. BAGGIO (2) is dropping back from 2200m to a mile, and is likely to settle back. He has a big finish on him when saved up, and if Bruno Queiroz can have him making his run at the half mile, then he could have the last say here. HAPPY STORY (1) showed a lot more heart when weakening late to finish third here 11 days ago. He has a far superior gate this time and can take it out. FRIENDOFTHEDEVIL (5) only battled last time out on this track after finishing close up in second here before that. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Boss Girls is good enough to win this.
