GOING: S

WANGANUI RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION MDN 2060m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 4m  

The race pace here looks okay for a two-turn Maiden event. JUSTICE (2) is well overdue a winning turn after three times runner up in last four runs and that includes a second here two starts ago. Well-drawn and rider atop is a big plus too. Big chance to win. SONGWRITER (3) he has run well in all his runs so far. Wide gate. Top tier must no matter the footing here. DO THE MATHS (1) there is improvement for sure on his fresh up run. Course placed. Wet tracker. GREY INVADOR (7) has been not bad in two of three runs this time in. Easy trial winner last month. TOWROPE (6) has been placed in his last two runs so can do that again. Dry tracker so far. Drawn wide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justice and Songwriter are win wagers.
