GOING: G(3)

Nobby Bussell Memorial 2yo 800m

Track: GOOD3   Showers   Rail: Out 9m from 2000-1200, remainder Out 11m.  

Tricky race with 11 2YOs set to make their debut. Speed anticipated from Kiwi Ada, Kneazle, Sensei and What About Max. Field of all juveniles on debut so could see some loading problems and waywardness plus coming across the junction possible awkward steering and gawking about. SENSEI can live up too his name and teach these a lesson. Trial winner by a big margin here last month and ran the time too. Expected to have tremendous tote support. The most serious danger is the North Island visitor SEIRIOS. Twice trialled and runner up each time. He is a half brother to Omei Sword (2 wins). Team Te Akau need to get out of their current form slump and start winning again after some brutal reputation reality checks of late. TORMORE is from a yard that always have them ready and backed on the tote. Kneazle and Kiwi Ida the next best duo for your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looking to play both Sensei and Kiwi Ida.
