Islington Lass strongly fancied at Trentham
ISLINGTON LASS was an unlucky second in the Anzac Mile at Otaki that she is expected to be improved enough to take out the Rangitikei Gold Cup at Trentham on Saturday. She was 3 wide, but had cover, then was hampered when making her run and just failed to catch the winner Mr Mojo Risin. That was her first run since December and she will come on leaps and bounds from that. If the rains comes and turns the track heavy then it will being others into contention. One of these is KICK ON who ran third in the race two years ago. ENRICO is another. HE finished third last week and does not mind a heavy track. He won on the course and distance 6/4. CHANNEL SURFER ran third to Enrico that day. He won’t mind a heavy track either. JUSTASKME and LIGHTNING JACK are two others to consider even though they have to concede weight to their rivals.
