Invercargill Race 2

TRACED FROM BIRTH TO ADOPTION PBD

Stake: $3,100

DIAZ (6) is still a maiden after 14 runs but rarely out of the placings, the latest filling a minor again when third at Addington. Has had plenty of chances to break maidens but seldom goes a bad race. Can measure up this time. SLAPSHOT SHELLY (3) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (17.71), beaten 6 lengths. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Has ability and can measure up. HOMEBUSH HARLOW (7) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 390m behind Mitcham Jordan (23.61) in a Class 0. On occasions can really ping the lids. In the mix. BOBBY THE FOX (4) has not raced here but still warrants respect. Extra distance and small field size may suit his racing style.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 0 on February 6 over 295m at Addington behind Classy Blazer beaten 6 lengths (17.71). Placed two back at Addington. Suited here and likely to run well.

Last start finished last on February 6 over 295m at Addington behind Classy Blazer beaten 9 lengths (17.86) in a Class 0. Look for improvement. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
