Awapuni Synthetic Race 5 - HUMPHRIES CONSTRUCTION 1700
WONDERBOY (1) has been heavily supported in all 3 runs this prep, including his last run here over 1700m when finishing fourth. There is nothing in this field to be afraid of, and he should get the job done this time. Follow your money. ON SHAW (2) will be making his poly track debut after being a beaten favourite in his last couple of starts. He is well seasoned and looks to be the only threat to the top pick. YAKATTACK (3) got a long way back in the same race as the top pick last start and could not make up any ground off a slow pace. The blinkers are on, and he can bounce straight back into the top 3. BARBIE DOLL (4) is backing up quickly after a fair effort for seventh over 2100m at Woodville a week ago. She has a better draw this time and can figure in the top 4. QUEEN YVAINE (6) resumes from a spell and is bred to improve with time. She has had a couple of trials and could run into the money in a field like this.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 10 at this track on August 24 over 1700m, 3 len behind Ruji with 58.5kg at $3.60. The race before that gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 8 at this track on August 3 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Sunshine Ale carrying 58.5kg at $2.60. Rates highly. Hard to beat on his best form.

Third-up today. First-up eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track on August 3 over 1700m, 2 len behind A Sensible Prince carrying 58.5kg at $13.20. Second run from a spell 6th of 10 at this track on August 24 over 1700m, 4.5 len behind Ruji with 58.5kg at $7.60. Shouldn't be far away.

Most recently 7th of 11 at Woodville on September 7 over 2100m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Lazy with 54kg at $9.40. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 13 at Woodville on August 17 over 1600m, on a wet track; 1.75 len behind Bundy with 53.5kg at $35.10. Better than last start so she deserves another chance.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 7 at Tauherenikau February 6 over 1600m, soft track; 8 len behind Tizznot with 56kg at $10.30. On debut fourth of 10 at Wanganui January 20 over 1600m, 9 len behind Uncle Arch with 55kg at $5.70. Capable of a bold return.
