Avondale Race 5 - ALL SPARK ELECTRICAL 1400
STAY FROSTY (1) has tried hard in all of his 4 starts to date, and he was a brave third as a warm favourite at Tauranga just over 3 weeks ago, and despite copping a tough gate here, he is still the one to beat. SHE MEANS BUSINESS (11) had trialled up well enough prior to finishing fourth on debut at Matamata 17 days ago. She will naturally improve with racing, and Craig Grylls has picked up the ride. Stick with her. Can win. AL AZHAR (9) set the pace and weakened in her penultimate start, and then was just off the lead when running on late for second at Matamata 4 weeks ago. A wet track is no problem, and she can go one better. SAATCHI (12) has been freshened up since a modest effort at Pukekohe 6 weeks ago. She has been close up in a trial since then, and can finish a lot closer here. Each-way value. KIND OF BLUE (7) has gone very close to breaking through, and was only beaten by a nose in her penultimate start. With luck from a wide gate, she can figure in the first four again.

Five-year-old gelding who's recent form has been just average. Beaten 6 lengths last time out when seventh over 1800m at Taupo. Not keen on his chances.

Three-year-old gelding on debut. Has trialled okay heading into this. Happy to risk without a significant market move.

Dual acceptor. Back for a second campaign. Finished a respectable fifth on debut then turned in a disappointing effort to finish 12th over 1600m at Ellerslie before going for a spell. Sure to be ready to run well.

Was below her best two back at Pukekohe then ran a much better race last start when second over 1400m at Matamata. One of the chief contenders.

Good effort last time when she finished just 1.5 lengths away in fifth over 1200m at Pukekohe. Worth including.
