Invercargill Race 9

BRIAN BAGLEY DRIVER LICENSING SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,500

BEAST ARISING (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.45) at Addington behind Go Flyer in a Class 1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Won at his only start from this draw. Expected to feature in the finish again. IMPRESSIVE NIXON (4) was in the money last start at this track and distance - poses a threat again. PUKEKO DOT (9) missed the placings at the final run of her last campaign, finishing fifth over 390m at this track on October 9. Capable of playing a role in the finish.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 390m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (23.30) behind Homebush Billie in a Class 1 on March 26. Looks a solid contender.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 390m at this track. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (17.45) over 295m at Addington. Boxed out wide and needs to find best form to feature.

Dual acceptor. Resumes from a six months spell and was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring over 390m at this track. Capable and looks an each way chance.
