Verdict

RED STAR RHONDA (15) has improved in each of her starts to date, and was only just over length from the winner in fourth place here last time out. A wide gate is no help, but she can still figure in the top 4 again. RESERVOIR (3) tried hard off a tough run at Kumara when finishing second there in his penultimate start, and then ran on too late for fourth here 11 days ago. With the right run, he can win a race at short notice. KIDS GOT GEARS (1) has been holding his form this season, and fought on well enough for fourth here 3 weeks ago over a mile. He might be better off over 7f rather than a mile, and he is another to put into all top 4 combos. SAILOR SAM (7)

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.
