Wingatui Race 1

GRAND CASINO MDN 1600M

Prize Money: $16,818

ASCEND (1) has all the exposed form in this field, and was runner-up over 2200m at Oamaru 3 weeks ago. The drop back to a mile won't be a problem for this modest assignment, and he is clearly the one to beat. ROCCODIORO (2) has been given plenty of time to mature, and he was a recent trial winner at Ashburton in the middle of last month. He has found the right race to make his debut, and he is the biggest threat to the top pick. DESCARO (4) has a few tricks which has probably prevented her from winning a race by now. She has been to a jumpout since being a late scratching last month, and if she is settled around at the start, then she is capable of a top 3 finish in this field. SCHNELL (6) battled on late for fifth when having her first start at Oamaru 3 weeks ago over 1400m. The step up to a mile will suit her, and she is well worth including in all multiples. LIQUID BLUE (5) drops back to a mile, and will have no fitness concerns third up from a spell. Stick with her.

Recent form sound. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Oamaru on August 15 over 2200m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Loren with 58.5kg at $4.20. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Oamaru on June 15 over 1600m, in the wet; 11 len behind Our Princess Boot with 58.5kg at $6.10. Will take plenty of beating.

Returns from a 47-day let-up. At the latest run 11th of 14 at Oamaru on July 20 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Speed Dial with 56.5kg at $22.70. Before that ran last of 11 at Ashburton on July 3 over 1400m, in the wet; 23 len behind Latenight Galaxy with 56.5kg at $22.60. Overlook recent runs. Tough to beat if near her best.

First up last campaign sixth of 11 at Ashburton February 23 over 1200m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Tembo with 53kg at $43.20. Not likely to feature at this stage of the prep.
