2000 Guineas (NZ) Tips: Trifecta & First Four

There is a field of nine in the New Zealand 1000 Guineas this Saturday at Riccarton. Legarto is favourite to win and remain unbeaten.

1. Legarto is the stablemate to Levante and owns three wins from three starts. She has already beaten Romancing the Moon by three lengths. The rise to 1600m could increase that margin.

Best Seller is a trifecta chance following a sixth behind Pier at Matamata. Pier has since won the Group 1 2000 Guineas.

Te Akau filly won at Riccarton and finished fifth at Ashburton. She has first-four claims in 2000 Guineas.

Romancing the Moon is the favourite for 2000 Guineas in New Zealand. She finished second behind Legarto last start.

5. Perfectly Suited (Best Roughie – $19) is worth $3.20 to place. 2000 Guineas (NZ) tips: Trifecta & First Four.

6 Blue Solitaire is a nice type on the rise. She won at Riccarton two years ago and ran fifth at stakes level last start.

7. O’Riordan is a level below this field. She had a solid run at Hastings. 2000 Guineas (NZ) is worth $23.

Kikimora is a consistent filly with six placings from seven starts. She's unlikely to score her maiden win at this level.
