GOING: H(9)

SPEIGHT'S 1400m

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

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. WAY OUT WEST (11) did not come up last year, and she has since relocated south from a leading North Island stable. She cops a tough gate, but the Faulkner stable usually has immediate results with similar types, and any positive market moves are to be respected. MOOR (3) hails from the powerful local Anderton stable, and though her form has been lacking since winning here in March, she is capable of bouncing back into the money here. PRETTY FLY (8) needed the run when resuming at Riverton 3 weeks ago, and she will appreciate the extra 200m of this assignment. Include in all combinations to be safe. YOO HOO JOY (6) has let the team down in her last couple of starts, but she had also drawn wide in each of those runs. She is worth another chance from a better gate. MININJAGIRL (12) had no luck at Riccarton last time out when following on from some good form to start this prep. She gets a nice swing in her draw this time, and she is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Way Out West has each-way claims, and Mininjagirl is worth inclluding.
