Invercargill Race 4

Woodlands Stud 'Supports F&M' Mobile Pace

Stake: $11,000

FIRST LIGHT (4) finished second last start over 1609m at Wyndham Raceway, beaten 1.4 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway. Meets a comparable field and she can give this a mighty shake. ALWAYS TICKING (7) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 12 metres away in third over 2400m at Wyndham Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. DREAMALITTLEDREAM (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Wyndham Raceway over 1609m. HAVARTI ARDEN (6) resumes. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway five months ago.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at Wyndham Raceway beaten 15 m by Better Be Watching (1:58.30) on November 10 at $70.80. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 30 m by No Added Sugar (2:59.20) in 3yo+ on October 31 at $50.90. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1609m at Wyndham Raceway, beaten 10 m by Better Be Watching (1:58.30) on November 10 at $13.10. Two runs back 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 6 m by Muchacho (1:55.70) on October 31 at $58.50. This looks a far sterner task.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Muchacho at Central Southland Raceway over 1609m on October 31 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind On The Wing at Wyndham Raceway over 1609m in a 3yo on November 10 at $1.40. Form sound and she is expected to be in the finish again.
