Riccarton Synthetic hosts a nine-race program on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selections for each of the nine races below:<\/p>\n\n\n
Warrior Boy (#2) is a 3yo son of War Decree coming here at start number six, having been thereabouts in all four of his runs on this track this campaign. He looked fairly one-paced through the line last start when finishing a close-up 4th here over 1600m, therefore the rise to 2200m may suit. He maps to settle up on speed from the inside gate in a race that doesn\u2019t look to have an abundance of early tempo, which should give him every chance to see out the trip. Many in this have a fair few convictions, happy to be in his corner.<\/p>\n Riccarton Park Synthetic R1 – RICCARTON PARK FUNCTION CENTRE MDN<\/span> <\/div> Final<\/span> Race time: <\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/colgroup> 2nd<\/span><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/td> 2.

He gets a very similar setup here from the low draw, where he should settle handy to the speed in what should again be a moderately run affair given the small field. He loses Tina Comignaghi in the saddle but gets 1kg off his back via Triston Moodley\u2019s claim.

She looks well placed carrying just 54.5kg after Kendra Bakker\u2019s claim.
