New Plymouth Race 1

NZB READY TO RUN SALE TRAINERS SERIES 3YO

Stake: $40,000

SPANDEEDO (1) no go in the Listed Ryder Stakes at Otaki and has been given time to get over that effort. The blinkers are on, and he is the one to beat at this level. LUMINANCE (5) was runner-up in the Ryder Stakes and then just battled at G3 level last time out, 4 weeks ago in the Northland Breeders Stakes. Stick with her. SURROUND SOUND (2) showed potential as a juvenile and will be a lot stronger this season. A good draw makes him a chance fresh up here. TULSA KING (4) has been better at the trials than on race day. He resumes from a spell and can figure in the top 4 here. PAUATUI (6) resumes from a spell and is likely to need the run.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Otaki in LR on July 26 over 1200m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Platinum Diamond with 57kg at $2.60. The start before that won by 2.75 len at Hawera July 15 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating Reconvene with 55kg at $1.60. Major player.
