Invercargill Race 3

PETER SINTON PLUMBING SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,500

KOBY CURBER (8) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a half a length second (17.35) behind Know Gloating at Addington. Deserves a win and gets his chance. GOLDEN STRIKE (3) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Addington over 295m behind Homebush Pearl (17.86) in a Class 1. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. HOMEBUSH NELLY (5) has strong claims after a close top-three finish last time out. Something for the Multiples: KILDY'S WHISKEY (2)
