Invercargill Race 9

TOP CLASS DASH PBD

Stake: $4,400

NO GUIDANCE (8) is better than last start when fourth (23.24) in a Class 5 at this track over 390m. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Has ability and can bounce back. HOMEBUSH GOMEZ (2) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 457m at this track in 26.11. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form. RIPSLINGER RORY (4) winner two starts back at Addington over 295m in 16.88. Last start found the minor prize over 295m at Addington in Class 5. In the mix.

Hit the frame latest (17.02) when second at Addington in a Class 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Will need the right run.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Addington (17.06) beating Sideline Sam in a Class 4 on June 26 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at this track over 390m (22.91) beating Mitcham Arlica in Class 3/4 on June 11. Has run a slick time here with a 22.59 PB at the distance. Worth including.
