Riccarton Race 3 - CHRISTCHURCH CASINO 31ST SOUTH ISLAND AWARDS - 11 SEPTEMBER THREE-YEAR-OLD
DOUBTABLE (5) won on debut, and then had some excuses when finishing fourth last time out. She meets a field without much exposed depth, and if she can see out 1200m, then she will go close to winning this. SPILL IT (1) won a trial before finishing second on debut at Oamaru, and he would not have to improve by much to be the winner here. BEAVERTOWN OLE (3) is a North Island trained gelding having his first start, and his stable normally has a lot of success at this meeting, so follow any market support. STUCK ON YOU (4) has raced greenly in each of his 2 starts to date, and drawing the pole position will help him this time. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. GOLDEN UPGRADE (2) improved a lot second up, and with further improvement, he can figure in the top 3 here.

Went well on debut two weeks ago when second over 1200m at Oamaru. Leading contender with that run under his belt.

Made some progress last start to finish fourth over 1200m at Oamaru when lining up for just the second time. With further improvement can figure in the finish.

Two-year-old gelding on debut. Has had three trials leading into this, most recently finishing in the placings at Foxton over 1000m. Expected to run well despite a difficult barrier.

Missed the placings on debut then didn't feature last start when 15 lengths away in 13th over 1200m at Oamaru. Likely improver who in this field.

Won on debut two back at Wingatui then could only manage fourth last start over 1000m at this track. Has ability and is worth another chance.

Having first race start. Trial form only moderate and she is likely to need the run. Betting best guide.

Finished 18 lengths back in 14th in an inauspicious debut over 1200m at Oamaru two weeks ago. Can't see her playing a major role.

Kicked off her career with a moderate eighth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1200m at Oamaru two weeks ago. Can improve with that run under her belt.
