Matamata   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(3)

New World Matamata (Bm75) 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Clear   Rail: True.  

Lucky's Revenge will be working forward. DON'T LOOK BACK resumed well with a fourth at Te Rapa which came off a generous spell. Would have been in dire need of that outing. Could be hard to beat with added fitness second up. BIG DREAMER lines up in the easiest assignment she has been given in some time. Should thrive back to this level. Small field but an intriguing one for many reasons as form threads in this are coming from near and afar. DANIELA ROSA will find it easier now back in New Zealand for sure. Has won two of three runs when fresh up. After a 4kg claim is a massive chance at 55kg. BIG DREAMER is down multiple classes in this and claims 2kg so at 57.5kg has to be in the top tier. Has not won left-handed surprisingly but is G3 placed this direction. DON'T LOOK BACK ticks two important facets in that she has in two runs when second up and when racing here finished first and been placed. Lucky's Revenge is consistent so surprisingly is down 1kg in. Include. Massofdash has one big surge when in the zone. Chance at double figures because will be carrying just 51kg after a full claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Don't Look Back either straight out or each way if odds permit.
