NZ - Awapuni - Race 2

RICHARD FARRELL (1) remains a maiden after 18 starts but has been racing consistently enough on this surface to suggest a breakthrough is close. He just battled on late when settling near the rear early on off a wide gate last time out, and seems to be at his best when ridden closer to the pace. Stick with him in a field that lacks any real depth. WHERE'S ANGE (7) finished runner-up here on debut over this trip 2 weeks ago, and with the natural improvement that is expected second-up, she can go one better here. RUNAWAY PRINCESS (6) has been racing in good heart this prep, recording two placings from four starts, and with extra time between runs since a last start sixth, she can bounce back into the money. POPINJAY (2) continued her steady improvement with a solid third at Woodville last time and should strip fitter again. Each-way value. WRITTEN IN ROCK (4) was not beaten far when finishing fifth over 1 5/16m here last start and has the form to be competitive against this field.
