Invercargill Race 4

159.2 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY PBD

Stake: $3,200

RIPSLINGER DELTA (4) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at Addington last time over 295m in (17.11). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Backing up quickly after racing on Tuesday and looks the one to beat. CRAFTY KEEPER (8) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 1.75 lengths into third (30.65) at Addington in a Class 1 over 525m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Drops back in distance today but is still a leading player. HOMEBUSH ROMILLY (7) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Addington over 295m. Hasn't won this venue but has run a number of minor placings. HOMEBUSH AMY (6) biggest asset is her early box speed. Cannot be ruled out at decent odds.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 295m at Addington. Tested under these conditions.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 295m at Addington in a handy 17.11 beating Opawa Birstall. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Finished second last start (17.51) over 295m at Addington. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Faces a tough assignment this time.
