Ashburton Race 4 - Ccas Second Wind Mobile Pace
WATCHING BRIEF (2) resumes after finishing ninth at her latest appearance at Ashburton Raceway on November 14. Talented and has plenty of upside. Has the benefit of a good draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. AUNTIE DEB (1) scored at Ashburton Raceway three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 2200m at Roxburgh, beaten 8 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and a big run is on the cards. MY FRIEND LOUIE (7) is better than his first-up 11th over 1980m at Addington eight days ago. DOCTOR TIM (8) did not have much luck last time out and is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher.
