Ashburton
Verdict
RULE OF LAW (1) is a consistent gelding who may not have lived up to his high price tag as a yearling, but he is still maturing, and he was a game runner-up when resuming from a spell on the Riccarton poly track nearly 3 weeks ago. He can go one better in this. PATSY SPIRIT (5) failed to back up at Cromwell, and he will be spot on for this suitable target. A wide gate is no help, but with the aid of a 3kg claim, he should not be taken lightly. GIUSSEPE FERRANTE (9) has been freshened up since not having much luck at Riccarton over the Cup carnival there in the spring. A wide gate is no help, but he can provide some top 4 value. ELEGANT EXPLOSIVE (10) has raced her way back into some good form, and she is another who is worth including in all combos, despite copping a wide gate. PURE ARTIST (4) should now be ready to show some decent form again. Follow any positive market moves.
