Riccarton Race 2

AVON CITY FORD SYDENHAM HURDLES

Prize Money: $45,455

BILLY BOY (1) is a top hurdler who had a run on the flat at Waverley 8 days ago to have him in top shape for this meeting, and he will be spot on to give this a big shake. On top. DICTATION (2) will be nearing his peak fitness after 2 recent starts over the hurdles, and he loves the brush here. Hard to beat again. TAIKA (3) paid the price for some average jumping at Woodville nearly 3 weeks ago when following on from a brave second in this role at Te Rapa before that. He is a brilliant jumper when his mind his on the job, and now that he is fit, he will be hard to hold out. AFFORDABLE (7) mixed his jumping as the favourite at Woodville last time out, and with a better display of jumping, he can bounce straight back into form in this. THE BAMBINO (4) was much better when finishing fourth in a similar field at Woodville last start, and he can figure in the top 3 again.

Reliable jumper whose recent form has been just fair. Placed (3200m) at Te Rapa two starts back then was outside the top-three (3000m) at Woodville nearly three weeks ago. Likely to figure on his best form.

Did a good job to finish second two back (3200m) at Te Rapa but could only manage eighth (3000m) at Woodville last time, arriving 29 lengths behind the winner. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Edging towards a win based on better performances at his last couple of outings, the most recent a third (3000m) at Woodville. One of the better chances.

Comments

Was unplaced two back (3100m) at Te Aroha. Went to the flat last time out and missed again when eighth over 1800m at New Plymouth Raceway, 12 lengths adrift of the winner. Certainly worth including back over the jumps.

Comments

Did not threaten when he finished fifth (3000m) at Woodville last time out, following on from a win (2500m) at Trentham. Hard to fault on his best form and must be respected.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
