Race comment
OVERVIEW: NAKED AMBITION (3) is racing well and has the conditions to suit her here. She just failed to run down Iron Love (won again since) two starts ago and the last time she won was when she trailed the leader, a position in which she is a good chance of achieving tonight from her ideal draw. QUEEN OF QUEBEC (5) continues to race in good form and was too strong for a field of similar quality last week so she must be considered as a winning chance. GRUMPEE (10) is a 3yo trotter taking on the older Metropolitan class horses but he performed soundly under similar conditions last week so he rates as a value chance. LOVE GUN (7) and HESALLMUSCLE (8) both have the class to be very competitive at this level but are badly drawn. CENTRAL OTAGO (11) is an honest performer and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 3,5/ 7,8,10/ 11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: NAKED AMBITION (3) is racing well and has the conditions to suit her here. She just failed to run down Iron Love (won again since) two starts ago and the last time she won was when she trailed the leader, a position in which she is a good chance of achieving tonight from her ideal draw. QUEEN OF QUEBEC (5) continues to race in good form and was too strong for a field of similar quality last week so she must be considered as a winning chance. GRUMPEE (10) is a 3yo trotter taking on the older Metropolitan class horses but he performed soundly under similar conditions last week so he rates as a value chance. LOVE GUN (7) and HESALLMUSCLE (8) both have the class to be very competitive at this level but are badly drawn. CENTRAL OTAGO (11) is an honest performer and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 3,5/ 7,8,10/ 11/ field

Race comment
OVERVIEW: NAKED AMBITION (3) is racing well and has the conditions to suit her here. She just failed to run down Iron Love (won again since) two starts ago and the last time she won was when she trailed the leader, a position in which she is a good chance of achieving tonight from her ideal draw. QUEEN OF QUEBEC (5) continues to race in good form and was too strong for a field of similar quality last week so she must be considered as a winning chance. GRUMPEE (10) is a 3yo trotter taking on the older Metropolitan class horses but he performed soundly under similar conditions last week so he rates as a value chance. LOVE GUN (7) and HESALLMUSCLE (8) both have the class to be very competitive at this level but are badly drawn. CENTRAL OTAGO (11) is an honest performer and is not without a chance.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: NAKED AMBITION (3) is racing well and has the conditions to suit her here. She just failed to run down Iron Love (won again since) two starts ago and the last time she won was when she trailed the leader, a position in which she is a good chance of achieving tonight from her ideal draw. QUEEN OF QUEBEC (5) continues to race in good form and was too strong for a field of similar quality last week so she must be considered as a winning chance. GRUMPEE (10) is a 3yo trotter taking on the older Metropolitan class horses but he performed soundly under similar conditions last week so he rates as a value chance. LOVE GUN (7) and HESALLMUSCLE (8) both have the class to be very competitive at this level but are badly drawn. CENTRAL OTAGO (11) is an honest performer and is not without a chance. EARLY SPEED: 3 (likely early leader), 1,4 RATINGS: 3,5/ 7,8,10/ 11/ field
