|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting plenty of speed from Goddess, O'riordan and An Morrighan from Iffin Doubt Dance. LIFE OF RILEY (5) has been knocking on the door since relocating to the South Island, most recently finishing close up in fourth over 1600m at this track 2 weeks ago. Matt Cameron steps into the irons, and he could coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. INCREDIBLE (1) has changed stables since finishing fifth over 2100m at Te Rapa 6-and-a-half weeks ago. He has been placed in 3 of his 4 starts over a mile, and he is expected to make a bright start to his South Island career. Check the market. O'RIORDAN (6) led for much of the way before sticking on gamely for second by a neck over 1600m at this track last time. She is overdue for her next win, so stick with her. DON PAULY (7) is another who has not won for some time, and his last start third was full of merit. He is usually running on, and he can figure in the top 3 again. GODDESS (2) was only beaten by a head here a fortnight ago, and a similar effort will take her close to another top 4 finish. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Life Of Riley can win this.
