TAB ODDS SURGE EVERY RACE @ TARANAKI MAIDEN 1400m

Track: SOFT     Out 3m  

The race pace looks not too bad here in this opening Maiden event over 1400m. ELIUD (2) produced a good run fresh up on Heavy footing and he some decent had backing too. He can go one better here for sure in this field. BOY (1) has been course placed. Importantly he handles it dry and wet too. Top two must in this field without a doubt. CHARM ZAFARM (5) is each-way here fresh up. Placed in two of three runs on the track. Senior rider atop today matters. KELP (3) is an improver on his debut third. A 2kg claimer gets atop here. Chance for your multiples if he can handle wet ground. NEVER NEVER (6) has been once placed and it came here on Heavy ground. A 3kg claim helps her cause greatly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eliud and Boy are win wagers.
