Invercargill Race 7

159.2 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY PBD

Stake: $3,300

HOMEBUSH PAULINE (5) was in the minors two back (23.11) at this track but ran below best last time at Addington, finishing 6th. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MITCHAM MANDY (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (17.68) in a Class 1 FIN at Addington. Was in a strong class 1 final last start so ignore the run. Better than last start and can bounce back. HOMEBUSH MITCH (2) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when seventh (17.61), beaten 6 lengths. Usually is a safe beginner that can race on speed. Likely to play a prominent role. BIG TIME DONCIC (4) is always a threat when he races at this journey. Recent racing at Addington but prefers racing at this venue.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Class 2 on January 30 over 295m at Addington behind Dynamite Dollars beaten 6 lengths (17.61). Placed two back at this track. Deserves another chance.

Well fancied last start but could only manage sixth over 295m at Addington in 17.50. Had been going well prior to that. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had three placings in a row.
