ANY EXCUSE SYNDICATE SILK ROAD (HEAT 3) MOBILE TROT 1980m

Track: GOOD      

ASPIRATIONAL DREAM (7) had been out of the money in recent runs before the latest appearance when she scored by 8 metres over 1980m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Primary contender in a similar race. BUFFY NORTHSTAINS (2) ran third last start at this track over 1980m, beaten 12 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. WAIHEMO HANNAH (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at this track over 1980m. LOTUS FRANCO (5) disappointed last time when tenth over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Can do a lot better and is well worth considering.
