Wanganui Race 1

LIQUORLAND WANGANUI MDN 1200

Prize Money: $15,455

GIRL CODE (6) made a solid debut when finishing second as a warm favourite here just over 3 weeks ago. She will only improve from that experience, and she should go close to taking this out, so follow your money. PAPER MOON (7) needed her fresh run at her home track of Matamata nearly 4 weeks ago over 1050, and the extra 150m this time will make all the difference. Hard to beat. OKLAHOMA (8) battled away well enough for third here last time out, and she wouldn't mind some cut in the ground. She is fully fit now, and she can figure in the top 4 again. ENSIGN ARIA (9) has a few tricks up her sleeve, and she did run a good race when fresh last prep. Depending on her mood, she is worth including in all top 4 combos. FLOWERS EMBER (1) has looked good in a couple of trials to date, and his stable loves to trek to the Central Districts to win races with their team. Check the market moves.
