NZ - Ellerslie - Race 5

FOREVERINTIME (5) is a very promising mare who overcame a wide gate to score by a short-head as the favourite at Trentham nearly 3 weeks ago. She cops an extra 7lbs, but is good enough to repeat the dose. DREAM OF THE MOON (2) made progress as a 3-year-old in some very good fields. She resumes with 4 trials under her belt, and from the pole position, she will be very hard to hold out. BEAST OF BURDEN (1) put together some tough runs at Riccarton and has been given time to get over those efforts. He is likely to settle off the pace and only needs a genuine tempo to figure in the top 3 here. Each way. HANKEE ALPHA (7) was a very promising 3-year-old who resumed with a fast finishing third as the favourite here over 5 ½f nearly 4 weeks ago. She can have the last say in this. BRITANNIA GOLD (4) got in the final stride when scoring by a nose at Te Rapa nearly 2 weeks ago over this trip. She has form on this course, and is a top 4 chance again. Stick with her.
