NZ - Te Rapa - Race 5

LITTLE BIT OF LOVE (2) just missed out by a nose here 3 weeks ago, and all of his 3 starts this prep have all been strong efforts on this track. He is in a good space, and as long as the tracks are heavy, he is always a winning chance. IMA BRAZEN ONE (1) has gone back-to-back in the Central Districts and won by over 3 lengths last time out at Trentham. A clever 9lbs claim will mean she carries 6lbs less weight this time, and the hat-trick beckons. FORCE OF NATURE (4) got back in the inside here in a similar field last start, and never got into the race. He has won 5 of his 9 starts in this track, and he is worth another chance. CLEAT (5) had to work too hard from a wide gate here last start, and understandably weakened. He has a chance to find the front here from a far superior draw, and he can bounce back into form at some value. GOSPODIN (6) was brave in defeat at Ellerslie a fortnight ago, an he is well overdue for another win. Stick with him for all top 4 combos.
