NZ - Riccarton - Race 7

POWEROFPERSUASION (9) did not take long to find winning form after relocating from the North Island earlier in the year, winning on the poly track here 10 days ago very comfortably. She drops 4lbs with the step up in class, and she can repeat the dose. THE BOSS LADY (8) is a very progressive mare who peaked on her fresh-up run at Wingatui late in the run home when finishing ninth. She will relish a return to racing on her home course here, and she can make amends. Stick with her. CANASTA (4) fought on gamely for third as the favourite at Wingatui last start, finishing just under a length from the winner that day. She revels on a heavy track and won't lack any fitness. Follow your money. BALANCE OF POWER (3) ran on late off a slow pace here on the poly track 10 days ago, and a return to form is not far away for this handy gelding. All of his form has been on wet turf courses, and he can figure in the top 4 here at a nice price. MR BULLY TEE (2) is also a rough top 4 hope.
