Woodville hosts a competitive 10-race program on Friday, with the track rated a Heavy10 and the rail in the true position. While conditions are forecast to be clear and mild leading into raceday, the significant rainfall earlier in the week has already taken its toll and only limited improvement is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

La Chica Bella (#8) is a 3yo daughter of\u00a0<\/span>Telperion<\/span>\u00a0who comes into this at just her second career start. She produced\u00a0<\/span>a very good<\/span>\u00a0debut effort at Hastings when finishing 2nd, only being grabbed late after hitting the front inside the final 100 metres. She should have taken plenty of improvement from that experience and looks to have found a winnable maiden assignment here. The Hastings surface that day was effectively closer to a Heavy10 on times, suggesting the testing conditions here should hold no fears. Looks hard to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ebony Bassett (#13) is a 3yo Wootton Bassett filly making her debut for Allan Sharrock. She has had just the one public trial, back in October, where she strode out nicely on a Soft7 surface. She has been given plenty of time and looks to have found a very winnable maiden field here. Kelly Myers takes the ride from a wider draw, which may prove\u00a0<\/span>advantageous<\/span>\u00a0if riders are looking to steer away from the fence.

\n

Ena Sharples (#7) is a 4yo mare resuming for Allan Sharrock, notably a half-sister to well accomplished mudlark\u00a0<\/span>Justaskme<\/span>. She put together a pair of strong runner-up performances during her first preparation, both of which came on Heavy tracks. Kelly Myers takes the reins from a middle draw and should have her settling back of midfield before making her run on the better ground away from the fence.

\n

Feint To East (#11) resumes for Andrew Forsman after being last seen on a Good4 track at Pukekohe in February. Her recent trial performances have been particularly encouraging, with both\u00a0<\/span>hit-outs<\/span>\u00a0coming on Heavy tracks. Those trial efforts\u00a0<\/span>suggests<\/span>\u00a0she will relish the conditions here despite being first-up. Drawn favourably, she should enjoy a midfield run with cover and looks set to receive every chance. Should take plenty of beating.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Satomi (#2) ran an excellent race for 2nd at Hastings last start, finding the line strongly despite being held up between the 600m and 400m. He\u00a0<\/span>appeared to relish<\/span>\u00a0the testing Heavy conditions on that occasion and looks set to strike\u00a0<\/span>very similar<\/span>\u00a0ground again here. He\u00a0<\/span>generally lacks<\/span>\u00a0early speed and is likely to settle midfield at best from the inside draw Looks the best bet on the program.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quid<\/span>\u00a0(#6) comes into this third-up following a game 3rd at Otaki, where the Soft5 surface may have been a touch sharp for him. He should now be nearing peak fitness and the return to a Heavy10 track looks a significant positive. He maps to settle on speed in what appears only a moderately run contest and should be given every opportunity to grind his rivals into submission late.

Chart The Stars (#6) resumed with an impressive win at Hastings on a testing Heavy track, circling the field from the rear to score stylishly. She was more than five months between runs heading into that effort and should only strip fitter second-up.\u00a0<\/span>Remaining<\/span>\u00a0at 1200m on another Heavy surface looks ideal and she should again be launching down the outside in the better ground.

Florin (#4) effectively comes into this second-up after her encouraging 4th at\u00a0<\/span>Te<\/span>\u00a0Aroha, where she closed off nicely behind Grande Gallo over 1150m. The rise to 1400m looks an ideal progression and she should be suited by settling back off what appears an even tempo before being saved for one run late. With the track likely to be very testing by this stage of the day, conditions should play perfectly into her hands. Looks the horse to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eagle Rock (#4) was disappointing first-up at Hawera, where he\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>couldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0go with them late on the Soft5 surface. He should take improvement from that outing and appears much better suited stepping out to a mile second-up. The prospect of a genuinely testing Heavy track late in the day looks a major positive and may be the key to seeing him run an improved race. At long odds, he appeals as a speculative each-way play in an even contest.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Giulia (#7) has had four runs this preparation without showing anything to get overly excited about, but there are reasons to expect improvement here. Much of her best form has come on rain-affected tracks and the return to a Heavy10 surface may help. She also drops back into R60 company, where she finds a much softer race as a result. At long odds, she could run a cheeky race.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rise to 1400m looks an ideal progression and she should be suited by settling back off what appears an even tempo before being saved for one run late. With the track likely to be very testing by this stage of the day, conditions should play perfectly into her hands.

He should take improvement from that outing and appears much better suited stepping out to a mile second-up.

Much of her best form has come on rain-affected tracks and the return to a Heavy10 surface may help. She also drops back into R60 company, where she finds a much softer race as a result.
