Invercargill Race 12

RACING AGAIN 18TH FEBRUARY PBD

Stake: $3,500

IMPRESSIVE SHOW (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (23.21) last time in a Class 3 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Should be very hard to beat this time. KING KOBORI (7) drifted in the market last start but did run well when finishing second (22.96), beaten half a length. Not the strongest chaser of the lure but loves to scout wide and run home. Must be included in calculations. MITCHAM LAUREN (2) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (23.30) in a Class 3 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. HOMEBUSH GENA (4) hard dog to bet with confidence but on occasions can jump well and be hard to catch. Should be thereabouts at decent each-way value.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on January 28 over 390m at this track behind Homebush Ben beaten 6 lengths (23.30) in a Class 3. Placed two back at this track. The last run is a strong form reference. Expected to go well.

Didn't make the placings last time at Addington (17.65) in a Class 3, finishing a 10 length seventh. Has three successes and seven minors from 15 starts from box 4. Looks one of the chances.

Finished third last time (22.99) over 390m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Was out of placings last time (23.21) at this track in a Class 3, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths. Has five successes and seven minors from 22 starts from box 6. Looks suited and should go close.
