Invercargill Race 8

PRYDE'S EASIFEED SOUTHERN LIGHTS (HANDICAP TROT)

Stake: $40,000

PRINCESS SADIE (1) came from a wide barrier to score at Addington three starts ago and has been good in two standing start attempts since, last time coming from a 20m handicap for second at Omakau. Suited returning to a circuit where she has won two of three visits and she should get every chance from this starting position. Manners let HIDDEN TALENT (4) down last start but was she good in coming from the back row for second at Ashburton prior. Owns a decent record here so is worth another chance. JIMMY CARTER (6) is racing well having placed in both outings since a Gore win, the latest a third from a tougher handicap than this. Contender. EMPIRE CITY (3) got it wrong last start but was competitive prior so can be in the finish.
