Riverton tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.70 · Donovan Cooper

Respectable place chance, not a confident winner.

Our price $7.50 · SP $8.30 · Corey Campbell

The value in the race. Drawn the inside gate, and Kelvin Tyler's team is a force at this track.

Our price $12.00 · SP $15.00 · Akshay Balloo

Loose Knickers is a proven wet-track performer who ran a gallant second over 1400m on Heavy at Wingatui. He is winless from 30 starts and carries top weight, but he is likely to be in the first few in a race without a clear leader.

Our price $2.70 · SP $2.80 · Kendra Bakker

She has been placed at both starts, comes up second-up with a stable and jockey who are both strong at Riverton, and carries a featherweight.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.80 · Brandon May

A confirmed wet-track runner who was only just beaten on heavy ground at Wingatui and drops in class today. She has had a lot to do in the early stages in previous runs, but a mid-field barrier and the light weight should help her. She has yet to break through, so she is a place-leaning chance rather than a confident winner.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.70 · Sima Mxothwa

Flash Roca has a great heavy-ground record and ran a gallant second at Gore last start. She is well drawn and gets a favourable weight, but the slow tempo could blunt her finishing run. She has also been up against stablemates.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.30 · Abdul Najib

Taramea Lad is one of the best wet-track horses in the field and has the lightest weight. He has been closing well late and was third at Gore on Heavy 9. The main concern is getting back in a slow-run race and his poor record at this track. But if the pace lifts or the ground stays heavy, he can run on and make the placings.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.30 · Abdul Najib

He is clearly in form, but top weight, a wide draw and a get-back style are all negatives when the tempo looks slow. He was beaten by Secret Wish last time, so he sits just behind her.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Akshay Balloo

A reliable heavy-track placegetter who gets a helpful weight advantage. The wide barrier and midfield position are slight concerns, but she is hard to leave out of the frame.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.30 · Daniel Bothamley

A lone leader in a slow-run race on a heavy track is a valuable setup. He has led and won at this level on heavy ground and has class beyond this grade. Recent results are poor, but he is second up and the map suits.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.90 · Donovan Cooper

An improving four-year-old who produced one of the better wet-track efforts in the field when flying home for third on a Heavy 10 last start. Drawn to be closer here and has placed in most of her heavy-track runs.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.80 · Cooper Stumbles

A seasoned wet-tracker who ran a good second last start. He has a solid record at the distance and at Riverton, and the stable is in good form at the track. The 60kg on heavy ground and the wide draw count against him, but he should settle midfield and stay on.

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.40 · Krishna Mudhoo

With no clear leader, he can slot into a handy spot and dictate. He has won on Heavy ground over this trip at this level. He is a genuine chance if the pace stays moderate.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.10 · Akshay Balloo

Drawn the pole and already a winner here over this trip on a heavy surface, so conditions hold no fears. He races up on the speed and should get an uncontested time of it early. Consistency is the concern after a plain last-start effort, but his best is clearly good enough and the inside gate is a genuine bonus.
