CARPE DIEM won at last year’s Trentham meeting and do so again. He ran third last week at 1400m and 1600m will suit him better. He has a good record when backing up so he is the one. MANOLO is one for odds.
Lincoln Star hard to beat again
LINCOLN STAR is going to be tough to beat again at Trentham after his win on the same course and distance last weekend. The Lisa Latta trained nine year old has won twice in heavy going and there is no reason why he cannot win again. He is the anchor.
Hot Shockolate picked in Trentham Sprint Feature
HOT SHOCKOLATE has the heavy track stats to win the Autumn Sprint Final at Trentham on Saturday. All of her form has been in heavy going and she is likely to get that on Saturday. Another stat in her favour is that she has raced at Trentham four times for three places. She will be fit after two runs back from a layoff. REIGN IT IN has a similar form line to the selection. He too is having his third run from a layoff. He was slow away last Saturday. Reign it in is another mudlark. AMEND will be the favourite or close to it after his last race win at New Plymouth. PAPA SURF ran third to Amend at New Plymouth while AMINOSIA and IVY DAZZLER are two others to consider.
Thumper picked in the last at Trentham
THUMPER must be ready to show something now after two runs back fro a spell. His only win was in heavy going and he has no other form. He finished well back at New Plymouth 11/5 but watch for improvement. SOTIRO and ANDIT HURTS are two light weights to watch. Both have 3kg off. MONOSA has 4kg off so is another one to watch in heavy going. All of her form has been in heavy going.
