GOING: S(7)

GOLF WAREHOUSE 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 4m  

Genuine tempo from Earlicheer leading Topsy Turvy. CHICA (7) has been freshened up since completing a promising initial prep of 3 starts for a couple of second-place finishes, including her last run at Tauranga in February when a warm favourite. A wide gate may not be too bad if the track is heavy, and she is still the one to beat. DARE TO PROISIR (1) will be resuming from a long spell, and he has had a couple of trials this year, after having some further trials last year. Whatever the reason was for such a long break is not known publicly, but he must be worth persevering with, and with Opie Bosson in the saddle, you know that he will be ready to rumble fresh. EARLICHEER (5) was given plenty of time to get over his only run this year back in February, and his trial form is far better than his race-day form. He has needed time to mature, and can give this a shake. Include. LA CADIERE (8) has talent and resumes from a spell. Each way. TOPSY TURVY (13) has some ability, and she can't be risked fresh up. Check the market. CANTONA (3) SUGGESTED PLAY: Dare To Proisir is worth some each-way consideration.
