Invercargill Race 6

ADRIAN WOHLERS EQUINE CHIROPRACTOR PBD

Stake: $3,200

KEEPER DREAM (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 9 lengths at Addington (30.85). Won at her only start from this draw. Last start run was in a strong field and meets a far easier field today. Can atone. BACK CHAT BAILEY (8) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (31.25), beaten 12 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. HOMEBUSH ROB (2) comes off a useful 17.28 placing at Addington over 295m. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. HOMEBUSH AYDAH (7) is worth including at decent each-way value.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 1 at Addington when a 1.1 lengths third but did run a slick 17.28 over the 295m trip. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Class 0 at Addington. Rates among the chances this time.

Was strongly supported last time but ran below expectations when fifth over 525m at Addington in 30.85. Big chance to make amends.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on February 2 over 525m at Addington behind Busy Work beaten 12 lengths (31.25) in a Class 1 H. Placed two back at this track. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
