GOING: H(9)

MORE FM 1200m

Track: HVY9     Out 3m from 1900m to 900m, Out 6m from the 900m to 350m, Remainder True  

Small field in which Magnastar can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. MOMENTO (7) finally put it all together when scoring an overdue maiden win at Ashburton 11 days ago. Now that the penny has dropped, we think she can go right on with the job. On top. TYCOON PRINCE (1) has relocated to the South Island after 3 fair efforts in the North Island. Tina Comignaghi picks up the ride from a good gate, and he will be ready to rumble. Check the market moves. MAGNASTAR (3) raced handy but blew out in the run home when resuming at Riverton. He has a superior gate this time, and he is expected to be a very quick improver. Stick with him. NOBELLEM (4) has been freshened up since her last start, and she is worth including in all top 4 combos. BALZANO (5) pops up now and then, and he can figure in the finish here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Momento can win again, and also watch Tycoon Prince closely.
