Afternoon Siesta has good early speed and can set a decent tempo.
AFTERNOON SIESTA (7) has been patiently handled, and was beaten by a good type on debut, and then bolted home to an 8-length win next up at Whanganui before being put aside. She resumes from a spell with a recent trial placing under her belt. On top for us. HE'S LUCID (1) was unsuited by the heavy track fresh up at Riccarton 25 days ago, but still tried hard. He was second in a recent Woodville trial and will be a quick improver here. Each way. PEPEHA (2) resumed from a spell and was an easy BM60 winner at Waipukurau as the favourite. He cops a wide gate, but will still be very competitive. Include in all combos. NEW YORK BELLE (8) franked a Foxton trial win with a soft New Plymouth win fresh up there nearly 3 weeks ago. She is a lot stronger this season and is good enough to go on with the job. HICKORY JACK (5) caught the eye with a strong finishing burst to nab third place at Waipukurau last start. He will be peaking for this, and with luck from a wide gate, he won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Afternoon Siesta can win this fresh up.
