THE LAWN SHED WINTER SERIES - PROGRESSIVE FINAL 1600m Track: SOFT 5 Out 8m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Curved Glory is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. ANDIAMO (5) has shown an impressive turn of foot to score in both of her starts this prep, and is now living up to the reputation she had as a younger filly. She cops another kilo, but she has the scope to progress right through the grades now. The hat-trick beckons. BERTIE WOOSTER (9) was doing his best work late when making his poly track debut at Cambridge just over 2 weeks ago. He may already be looking for more ground, but he is stronger now, and a top 3 finish would be no surprise to us. I PARK (1) lifted late and got in the deciding stride second up from a spell here 4 weeks ago, and the form from that race has since been franked. As long as it is not too wet, he can repeat the dose. PURE LOTUS (10) made the most of a change of tactics when leading all the way at Te Rapa last week, and if this race has not come too soon for him, then he will again take some pegging back. ORSON STONE (4) has been edging towards another win and was a game runner-up here last start. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Andiamo can win again.
