Race 9 - #3 MISS CARTIER (Win)

A high-class mare who is making her South Island debut today on the synthetic. She is the winner of 5 races and has an unbeaten record on the Cambridge synthetic (2 from 2). She scored a strong win at Cambridge three starts back and ran game third last start, which suggests she is still in top form for this. The 3kg claim of Hamish McNeil drops her weight to just 56kg which is extremely generous, considering she is off a rating of 80, the highest in the field. From barrier 3 she will get a favorable run near the speed and she has a class edge on most of these.
