AGRAFORUM GROWING INNOVATION 1400m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
From the inside draw Girls Light Up can boot up and control the tempo in a low-pressure contest. SHOW PONY (2) notched another win last start over 1580m at Riccarton, marking two consecutive victories this campaign. He is a lot stronger this season, and the hat-trick beckons. GIRLS LIGHT UP (7) resumes from a spell for new trainer Terri Rae, she looks on target after a recent fourth in an 800m trial on this track. She might need the run, but in this field, she is good enough to still win. LOOSE SALLY (5) is a very progressive four-year-old mare resuming from a spell. She was last seen winning the LR Warstep Stakes over 2000m at Riccarton in late April, and she is unbeaten fresh up in 2 starts. She will be looking for more ground, but if the tempo is genuine, then she can have the last say. ON FILE (3) and LORD WEYBURN (10) are also each-way chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Girls Light Up at some each-way value, also respect Lord Weyburn fresh up.
