Race 1 - RICCARTON PARK FUNCTION CENTRE MAIDEN
Time: 11:50 AM | Distance: 1400 m | Prize $ 20000
Top Pick
12 Grasshopper
F: 75B(12)W(56.0)
( J-Kendra Bakker )
( T-Lance Robinson )
She has worked home nicely in both starts to the races and benefits from the 3kg apprentice claim
Main Danger
9 Zoom
Dividend : $2.00
Place
F: 38202B(13)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-John Blackadder )
A good last start effort for second after having post race issues two starts back. Drops back in trip isn't a concern but the wide draw is
Next Best
2 War Court
F: X0X03B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Brian Court )
Put in a very game effort last start and has a good draw to work with today
Consider
10 Let's Go
F: 3X0X6B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Ashvin Goindasamy )
( T-Lance Robinson )
She hit the line quite nicely fresh up and will only be fitter for that outing. Extra distance suits
Longer Odds
14 Ocean Breeze
F: 7B(8)W(56.0)
( J-Leah Hemi )
( T-Kennedy/Furlong )
I thought she found the line nicely enough late suggesting she can be the dark horse over 1400m today

9 Sinbin
Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 25142B(7)W(55.5)
( J-Courtney Barnes )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
Certainly rates as the main danger. She is racing in such great form in the CD and handles Trentham and its dogleg shute similar to here. She does look the obvious danger
Next Best

Place
F: 21X8B(9)W(56.0)
( J-Samantha Wynne )
( T-Tony Pike )
Comes down from the Tony Pike yard. She was very unlucky fresh up at Trentham. Smart breaking maidens in the Summer prior to Xmas. 1400m suits and looks the one to beat

F: 40131B(1)W(55.0)
( J-Courtney Barnes )

Robbie Paterson is down here for the good stakes on offer and it's hard to think he won't get a result here. Won with a bit in hand last week and more suited to this distance. Rails draw
