Tennant Creek Race 5 - Little Rippers Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (70)
LIMITED RISK (5) was placed this trip in open class two back at Alice Springs then was fourth there over a little further last time. Change of rider and sure to prove tough to beat. POMPEII EMPIRE (2) has been in great touch lately including a win two back then runner-up latest. Has a little extra weight but will be hard to hold out. THROW AT DA STUMPS (6) signalled a return to form last time when on speed and boxing on well to finish runner-up. Won only try course and distance and looks a top chance off the low draw. VERBOSITY (3) rates highly and can give a sight off the inside. REAL VALENTIA (1) is back in class and looks a strong top-three hope.
