G1 – 1200m – Turf
1 |
Justin Case |
He finished second at his debut and has won his next two at Matamata on wet tracks. The latest was a 5.8L G3 win. Go close. |
2 |
Harvey Wallbanger |
He finished second in a G2 and then second in a G3 both at Ellerslie at his past two starts. Last start he was beaten a neck. One of the chances. |
3 |
Out Of The Blue |
He followed 7th at Ellerslie over 1200m with a 2nd at Matamata in a G3 1200m to Justin Case. He has the ability to be in the finish. |
4 |
State Of Valour |
He’s showing talent with seconds at his past two runs. At his last start he was beaten a nose in a 2YO maiden over 1100m here. Needs to lift. |
5 |
Lara Antipova |
She has won her three starts easily. Last start she snared a G2 by 3.3L Matamata over 1200m on a heavy track. The one to beat. |
6 |
Liguria |
She overcame interference to fly home and win by a neck at G3 level over 1200m here last start. She’s one of the better chances. |
7 |
Lassified |
She won two of her first three starts in New Zealand before 6.3L 14th at Randwick over 1100m on 7 February. She’s worth another chance. |
8 |
Te Encuentro |
She’s shown above average ability. Won on debut here before she finished 2nd to Lara Antipova in G2 over 1200m at Matamata. Respect. |
9 |
Parfait Dimanche |
Never far away with three thirds and a fourth from four starts. Last start was a 3rd in G3 by a length at this track and distance to Liguria. |
10 |
Sweetest Thing |
Has had two starts for two seconds with the latest at Wanganui. Rises in class and she will have to improve to again be competitive. |
11 |
Bella Bonita |
She will be the outsider. At her last start she was beaten 14L when she finished 5th in a field of six behind Lara Antipova at Matamata over 1200m. |
