Riccarton Race 3

ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES

Stake: $40,000

OUT OF THE BLUE (1) showed a lot of courage and a touch of class when winning by 2 lengths on debut. He is the one to beat again. URCHELLA (3) battled on well enough when finishing third on debut at Avondale in a small field 17 days ago. She will naturally improve with the experience and can run the quinella with the top pick. MIDNIGHT OAK (2) did not give it away when fourth behind the top pick in the same race when making her debut. The winkers are on, and she has top 3 claims this time. MISS TWINKLE (4) won the latest of 2 trials in this track, and is bred to have some speed. She might need the race day experience, but is good enough to pick up a win at short notice. OUTBACK GIRL (5) won her only public trial and has a good draw for her debut. Don't rule her out of a top 3 finish.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; won by 2 len at this track September 27 over 800m defeating Luminosity with 57.5kg at $1.50. Has done little wrong to date and rates a strong chance in a tougher race.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at Avondale on October 8 over 1000m, in the wet; 1.3 len behind With A Vengeance with 53kg at $12.40. Shows ability and expected to improve. Plenty of improvement to come and is among the leading contenders.

Two-year-old filly having first start by leading sire Zoustar out of Air Spirit. Won a barrier trial over 600m at Riccarton Park on September 29. Trained on the track and should be primed to run well despite an awkward gate.

Samantha Wynne trained two-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Won a recent Riccarton Park trial. Inside barrier will assist chances. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.
