NZ - Riccarton - Race 2

DON PAULY (12) has been freshened since his last start third here in early March, and he looked sharp when finishing second in a recent trial. His racing style means that he settles back early on, and if the tempo is genuine, then he can run into the money or even win this. KING PALM (1) resumes from a decent spell for new trainer Joe Waldron, and the way his stable is going at the moment, this gelding must be respected, even without any public trials. OFFLINE (13) was a deserved winner at Ashburton in her penultimate start, and she then tried hard for second here 3 weeks ago. She has the ace draw again, and she should be hard to hold out again. JACK CRABB (3) won at BM60 level 3 starts back, and his 2 starts since then have been good enough. He has relocated South to join Lance Robinson, and if he doesn't need the run, then he will give this a big shake. WANDERIN SPELLE (2) has been thereabouts all year, and his form is back on an upward trend. Stick with him.
