O'riordan, Pure Jewel and Leinster can set up a solid gallop. O'RIORDAN (4) was a beaten favourite at Kurow 11 days ago after racing close to the pace throughout. She can take up another handy spot here, and she is overdue for her next win. On top for us in this. LEINSTER (2) tries a middle distance for the first time, which is a query, but he was a game third as the favourite on Wednesday at Reefton, and has to be respected again. ADIOS VAMONOS (5) followed up her maiden win at Ashburton with a fair run for fifth at Reefton. She will be sharper 3 days later, and is well worth including in all combinations. HAMMER TIME (10) did not fire fresh up at Omoto 6 days ago, but usually improves quickly with racing. The blinkers are on, so stick with him. FLAMBOYANCE (9) will be peaking third up in the South Island. He steps up to a more suitable trip and has each-way claims, especially from the pole position. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'riordan can win this.
