Invercargill Race 5

ORETI BEACH RUN

Stake: $4,500

RIPSLINGER RIOT (7) comes here after a swift win at Addington over 295m in 17.17. Had run a top third two starts back in a very strong field. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. RIPSLINGER NESTA (6) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten a nose (17.39) behind Ruby Red Dress at Addington. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Expecting another good run. RIPSLINGER BIRDY (4) ran below best last time finishing seventh (17.61) over 295m at Addington from Box 3. Will appreciate a return to this venue and can figure in the finish. FOXY THOMAS (5) warrants respect following a recent placing. Does step up in class today but looks capable of handling it.

On debut at this trip. Last start finished seventh at Addington over 295m in (17.61). With even luck and a clean start she should be very hard to beat.
