Verdict

PORTLAND (10) has been in rock-solid form on wet tracks, with a pair of second-place finishes at New Plymouth in her last couple of starts. She has trialled on firmer surfaces, so there should not be an excuse there, and from a good draw, she is the one to beat. THUMBELINA (13) just battled on debut as a juvenile, and her trial form has been better, including a recent narrow win at a tune-up trial. She resumes with the advantage of the pole position and should be ready to rumble fresh. Check the market. NEFFU (1) has changed stables since an initial solid prep last season, which included a couple of placings. He resumes without the blinkers on and will be hitting the line late. Watch for any market leads. BUCCINO (6) has been trying to win a race for some time, but has been placed often, including a fresh third at Matamata 4 weeks ago. Stick with her. ARCTIC JEWEL (18) is a progressive mare with winning claims in this, especially from a good gate.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Minus Pool

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.

Fractions

The times recorded during the race; with timing starting just past the gate or when the gates open, then parroted for the quarter, half, three-quarters etc. Used as an indication of ability and speed.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
