ILB

Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 2nd last time at Phar Lap Raceway and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

RSIS

Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 2nd last run at Phar Lap Raceway and was on debut last time. Should race on the pace.

Comments

ILB

At $4.00 came in 8th last run at Wingatui. Should improve from the last run. One of the punters top hopes.

RSIS

Odds of 3/1 and came in 8th last time at Wingatui. Has the ability to turn things around. Solid prospects.

Racing fresh today after a break. Odds of $31.00 and struggled with the pace when 10th last start at Te Rapa. First race for a new trainer. Not at all out of this race.

RSIS

Resumes after a break. Started 30/1 and didn't find the line when 10th last start at Te Rapa. Change in trainer.

At $19.00 below expectations when 11th last run at Wingatui. Should be going forward early. Will be tested.

Started 18/1 and below par performance when 11th last start at Wingatui. Will be pushing for a forward position early.

First up from a 28 week spell. Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Riverton and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Gets the perfect draw. Expect support.

Racing fresh today after a 28 week break. Placed 3rd last start at Riverton and fitter for debut run. Should be going forward early. Tough competitor.

ILB

Was $26.00 and below par performance when 9th last run at Phar Lap Raceway but fitter for debut run. Does take a while to get into stride. Watch betting.

RSIS

Odds of 25/1 and mediocre display when 9th last start at Phar Lap Raceway but having second race start. Gets back and needs luck.

Odds correct as at 9:20 am AEDT. Odds can change.
