GOING: H(10)

POSITIVE SIGNS + PRINT 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

O'riordan to take charge ahead of Where's Wally at a solid tempo. THE BOSS LADY (11) resumes from a spell, and she won her only start last prep at Riccarton in February. She has looked in good order with two trial placings leading into this assignment, and Jamie Bullard would only have trekked this far to start her only if he was very confident. On top. SIGHT TO SEE (2) continues to race consistently, and she was not far away again at Ascot Park 3 weeks ago when charging home from the rear for third over 1600m. She likes it wet, and with a kilo less to carry, she could have the last say. O’RIORDAN (8) is a tough mare who produced a career-best effort when scoring over 1800m at Riccarton last time out. She puts herself in the right place early on, and she will again prove tough to get past. Stick with her. MAMAEA (13) stormed over the top of her rivals from the tail of the field to score impressively at Riverton last start, and with the rise in class, she will drop 3kg after the claim. Each way claims again. MR BULLY TEE (3) has top 4 claims as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Boss Lady can win fresh, and Mr Bully Tee at each-way value.
