GOING: SL(8)

Mardigras Event Hire (Bm65) 1200m

Track: SLOW8   Showers Early   Rail: Out 2.5m.  

Undercover should roll forward from the wide draw to take up the lead. There is some dash in this but not a lot considering the field size. How the track is presented will be pivotal. SACRED SURFER and SABOTAGE looked the top two chances. The former has been twice trialled to prepare. Will find it easier now back in New Zealand. The latter second up is the quinella as yet to be out of the money in this state. The ace draw and winning rider from two starts ago back atop ALWAYS READY makes her a trifecta and first four chance. Bluetwentytwo the next best inclusion for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Surfer for the win.
