Invercargill Race 2

SOUTHLAND & OTAGO PHOTO FINISH PBD

Stake: $2,500

HOMEBUSH ONYX (6) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding second (17.37) in a Class 1 H at Addington over 295m. Expected to feature again. RUBY RED DRESS (3) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing half a length behind Go Ruby in 23.16 and recording a new PB here. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CLOUD OF DUST (7) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 457m behind Homebush Charlie (26.88) in a Class 1. Scored at her previous run. Has the ability and can atone. MISS MAUDIE (4) can sneak into the finish if he makes a quick beginning.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 390m. Last start finished 6th over 457m at this track beaten 7 lengths (26.88) behind Homebush Charlie in a Class 1 on March 26. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 7 length sixth over 295m at Addington. Better off looking to others.
