Wanganui Race 6 - ST JOHNS CLUB GOLFERS 1600

EIZUS (5) lifted powerfully to win fresh up by a head at Waverley when clearing her maiden status, and was fourth after that at New Plymouth, before a brave effort for second at Trentham nearly 4 weeks ago. On top in this. SONGWRITER (2) led all the way when winning fresh up last prep at New Plymouth, and then held his form until being put aside for a spell. He has had a couple of tune-up trials and is more than capable of figuring in the top 3 in this sort of field. Check the market moves. JAEGER (3) started from a wide gate fresh up at Trentham 3 weeks ago and finished on late for sixth. He steps straight up to a mile, and with the advantage of a superior gate, he is good enough to take this out. LITIGATOR (4) is up from the South Island, where he broke through for an overdue maiden win in his penultimate start. He is resuming from a long spell, but must be worth persevering with. Check the market. RUJI (1) has improved with time and is not the worst in this. Include in all combos.

Has been below his best for a long time and is now without a win in 419 days. Safely held last time out when 11th over 1400m at Trentham three weeks ago. Needs a major form reversal.

Not a regular in the winners' stall and hasn't scored for 21 months. Last start was 6 lengths back in third over 1600m at New Plymouth Raceway. Has ability and can bounce back.

Easily beaten at her last run before spelling and didn't fare any better when resuming over 1200m at Otaki three weeks ago, beaten 10 lengths into 13th. Can't recommend.
