NZ - Riverton - Race 2

RIPA TIME (10) finished fifth fresh up in the Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes over 7f at Wingatui 6 days ago, and with an extra furlong to travel here, she is the one to beat back in her rightful maiden grade. On top. JAIL BIRD (4) has finished in the money in each of her 2 starts to date, and cops another decent draw here. She has been given time to get over her last run 8 weeks ago, and should be in the top 4 again here. JIKON (5) fought on for fifth at Ascot Park last time out after finishing runner-up there before that, both times over 7f. She tries a mile for the first time, and with the aid of a 7lbs claim, she is a must for all combos. SPARKY (1) whacked away to hold third over 1 ¼m at Gore 11 days ago. He won't lack fitness and is worth including in all combinations. SWOOMEE SWAN (11) is racing well in her first prep, and with the blinkers on for the first time, she should be an each-way chance again.
