Verdict

THE RED RHINO (3) has put in a couple of really brave efforts recently in better fields at Riccarton, and he will notice the drop in field quality here. He is still only a lightly tried 8-year-old gelding, and he goes on top for us here. PATSY SPIRIT (5) was set to start in the South Island a few weeks ago but was scratched. He is unbeaten on this course in a couple of starts, and if he doesn't need the run, then he can give this a real shake. Maybe wait for the second day on Sunday. WINEXPRESS (2) was beaten by a wide gate in a tougher field at Riccarton nearly 3 weeks ago after winning at Ashburton by a short-head before that. Stick with him for all top four combos. MANALI (8) resumes from a brief spell and has been tuned up with a quiet run at a recent Ashburton trial. Check the markets for any positive moves. DAPHNE DIOR (13) has not had all the favours in her last couple of starts. She steps up to 7f for the first time this prep, and can figure in the top four at odds.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Allowance Race

A race with non-claiming conditions set by the racing secretary. They are meant to be a step down from stakes racing.
