Riccarton Race 3 - THE PAVILION AT RICCARTON PARK THREE-YEAR-OLD
ZAFAR (1) was surprisingly beaten as a warn favourite fresh up here 4 weeks ago when finding 1000m a touch too sharp. He will relish the extra 200m, and if he wants to be considered a chance in some richer assignments later in the spring, then he will want to be winning this. FRAUDSTER (2) made it 2 wins in a row on his home track at Ruakaka this season, and his trainer has a terrific record when campaigning his team on this track. The hat-trick beckons. ENCHANTMENT (3) needed the run fresh up when finishing fifth here 4 weeks ago, and a trial since then would have further improved her condition. Stick with her for all top 4 combos. OMEGA SPRINT (4) looks very promising with 2 trials wins on the bounce at Ashburton, and if not too green, he can make his presence felt on debut, especially from the coveted pole position. LUMINOSITY (6) weakened out of it last time out, and she will have no fitness excuses third up from a spell, so allow her another chance.

Returned from a layoff last start and was beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth over 1000m at this track. Rates a top 4 hope and expected to finish much closer.

Talented three-year-old gelding with two wins from two trials, most recently at Ashburton over 1000m. Strong trial form should stand up. Expect a strong showing based on that trial form.

Sparingly raced galloper who has been well held at both runs this time in work. Was up on the pace before her condition gave out last start over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old having her first race start. Raced well in a barrier trial to prepare for today and kicks off in a relatively small field. Suggest monitoring the market.
