Invercargill Race 3

GREYHOUNDS MAKE GREAT PETS PBD

Stake: $3,200

ROWDY JEWEL (3) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 4 lengths (17.58) at Addington in Class 1. The extra distance today appears as though will suit ideally. Deserves a win and gets his chance. HOMEBUSH HUSK (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Addington over 295m. Goes well out of this box with a win and 10 minor placings. Beaten by a very smart pup last start and expected to feature again. HOMEBUSH KAIZA (5) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at Addington in a handy 17.35 beating Our Echo. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. HOMEBUSH RAVEN (4) recent racing at Addington and will appreciate a return to this venue. Can run a bold race on best form.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 295m at Addington. On the down grade so could turn poor form around today.

Having his first run at this track and trip. Last start finished third at Addington over 295m in (17.58). With even luck and a clean start he should be very hard to beat.

Last start finished last over 295m at Addington beaten 6 lengths (17.76) behind Grizzly Jewel in a Class 1 on February 2. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Placed last time (17.45) at Addington in a Class 1, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and 10 minors. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
