PRECIPICE (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten one length. It was a very good effort. Drawn out here but can overcome it. Win chance here. LADY SOLITAIRE (9) stepped out on her debut over 1200m at Ellerslie two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time. Wide barrier draw. Still a quinella and trifecta must. SACRED COMBATANT (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Last start was a bit average. Wide draw. Chance here on rain-affected footing. SURPRISE INSIDE (8) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage tenth last time out over 1600m, also at this venue. Poor at last start here. Warrants another chance. RISING WIND (3) was a better run at last start. First race clockwise. Won a trial this way of going in February.
