Invercargill Race 8

ORETI BEACH RUN

Stake: $4,100

HOMEBUSH LATTE (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 5.5 lengths at Addington in a handy 17.12, beating Homebush Ari. Jumping from the pinch draw, but is in form and has the ability. Can make it back-to-back wins. HOMEBUSH OPAL (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (23.60) in a Class 2 at this track. Key player from this box draw. HOMEBUSH WILLOW (7) latest effort finished 4th over 457m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths (27.14) behind Only Nugget in a Class 1 on May 21. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HOMEBUSH LEANA (4) is not to be discarded in a field like this.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished seventh over 457m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Hard to entertain this time.
