Verdict

OPTIONS OPEN (13) was heavily backed fresh up at Timaru and did not finish her run off as expected, finishing fourth on a soft track. She will be a lot fitter now, and a firmer track will do her no harm. Follow your money. WYWORRY (2) booked his ticket South with a bold run for second fresh up at New Plymouth just over a fortnight ago. He cops a wide gate here, but if he can lob some early cover, then he will be right in the finish again. QUEEN OF SHEBA (12) tried hard on debut when finishing runner-up by a short-head at Ashburton nearly 3 weeks ago. She will continue to improve with racing and should pick up a win this season. NOIVERN (1) has gone close to winning a race in the past, and should be close to his full fitness third up from a spell. He has been placed in 5 of his 6 starts on the track, and deserves a winning turn. HARD ATTACK (7) had no chance last start after settling a long way back from a wide gate. She can make amends from a superior draw here.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 14 at Ashburton on October 11 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind Shakabrah with 58.5kg at $13.90. Second-up rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 at this track on October 25 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Chilli Margs with 58.5kg at $4.20. Strong chance based on that form, particularly over its favoured journey.

The run before that 10th of 14 at Ashburton on October 11 over 1400m, 7 len behind Shakabrah with 56.5kg at $71.80. Promising effort last time out. Not far away last start and is worth including.

Michael & Matthew Pitman trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Looked good in a recent trial win. Wide barrier will make his chances harder. Looks one of the chances despite a tricky draw.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 9th of 12 at Phar Lap Racecourse on September 7 over 1600m, 6 len behind McClintock with 54.5kg at $14.50. Last start sat on the pace before fading 12th of 14 at this track on October 25 over 1400m, 13 len behind One True King with 56.5kg at $84.50. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.
