Wanganui Race 5 - CARPET MAINTENANCE & CLEANING MDN 3YO 1340
SIERRA LEONE (8) tried hard and was not beaten far in the Wellington Stakes at Otaki just over 7 weeks ago, and the form from that race has been franked all over the show. She has won a trial since then, and back in maiden company, it will be only bad luck that beats her. DASHING (4) is the stablemate of the top pick, who needed his fresh-up run here 10 days ago when finishing sixth after being well found in the market. He will want more ground soon enough, but is capable of making up the quinella here. BOLLI BELLE (11) is a well-bred filly making her debut, and she is expected to make her mark over a longer trip than this. She has had plenty of trial experience, and the market will be our best guide. FATHER TED (2) did nothing when resuming over 1000m. The extra 340m is the key here, and this gelding will make the grade in time. Include in all combos. LAST WISH (10) needed her debut run after showing talent at the trials. She might still be a touch green, but she can run top 4 here.

Pushed forward from a wide draw last time but tired in the straight to finish fifth over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway. Draws a low gate this time. Has ability and can turn things around.
