Riccarton Race 5

DAKINS GROUP PREMIER

Stake: $75,000

WITZ END (4) has changed stables since a couple of poor runs this prep, this was in spite of some good trial form leading up to his return this season. The blinkers are on, and a change of scenery is all these older geldings need sometimes to find their best. On top for us. KOPUA (3) ran on too late in the big Mile on Wednesday. This is easier, and dropping back to 1400m is actually in his favour. If he backs up, stick with him. BETTY SPAGHETTI (2) has needed both of her runs back from a spell, and she has not missed a cheque in 3 starts third up in the past, including 2 wins. A wide draw is no help, but she is good enough to figure in the top 3 here. CONTEMPLATION BAY (9) has not had any luck with her barrier draw this season, and lands the pole position this time. She is right up to winning this race. ON THE TOWN (15) battled on gamely for eighth as the favourite here last week, and drops 2kg from that run. Follow your money, and include him in all top 4 combinations.

Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Tauherenikau on November 1 over 1400m, slow going 1.2 len behind Marotiri Molly with 55kg at $13.10. The run before that got back early 7th of 9 at Trentham in the G3 Thompson Handicap on October 26 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Hi Yo Sass Bomb with 55kg at $19.20. Tried hard over a mile on Wednesday, and can do better over this shorter trip.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 9 at Trentham on September 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Spencer with 56.5kg at $3.10. Last start second last of 14 at Ellerslie on October 18 over 1400m, 16 len behind Arabian Songbird with 56kg at $27.70. Strips fitter and good enough to test this field.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Inflamed carrying 54kg at $3.70. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at Wingatui on October 17 over 1400m, on rain affected going; head behind Sestina carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Overdue for a win and could sneak a place.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 14 at this track in the G3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes on November 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Captured By Love with 55kg at $26.10. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Ashburton October 31 over 1400m in soft going defeating Lord Weyburn carrying 57kg at $5.10. Rates highly and can break back.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track November 8 over 1400m defeating Maybe Diva with 58kg at $23.90. The run before that 10th of 13 at Phar Lap Racecourse on October 9 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Graeme John carrying 56kg at $18.40. Worth including.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 8th of 13 at this track on November 8 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Toa Haka carrying 56kg at $4.90. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at Ellerslie October 18 over 1400m defeating Mister Meaner carrying 58.5kg at $4.60. Worth another try.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
