Ashburton

VILLASANTI (6) Charged home to win last run at Riccarton Park and ideal trip as proven previously. Likely to be well placed early. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation. In the mix. BALLISTIC MISS (12) Picked up late to win last start at this track. Has a nice turn of foot. Suitably placed in this race. EIGHT PENCE (1) Overrun in the final stages when 6th last start at Wingatui and dropping in class. Should jump out and bowl along. Very competitive this campaign. Rises in weight. One of the major players. AKENEHI (3) Finished 8th last time at Wingatui but competing in an easier class. Racing consistently this campaign. Jack Taplin provides some weight relief. Can get the job done.
