GOING: H(9)

MOUNT MAUNGANUI RSA 1600m

Track: HVY9     Out 3.5m  

The race pace looks not too bad in this Mile event but the pressure will be negligible overall as the field breaks up before the home turn. MARS (7) is a partial class dropper. Winning rider atop. Can win this. FINAL IMPACT (8) is a quinella and trifecta chance here no matter the footing. RANGER (2) course placed. Well drawn. Trifecta and first four must. THE GREEN KEEPER (1) was better at last start. Has been placed third up. RAVEN (6) improver on fresh up effort. A placing or the first four is possible. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mars is a win wager.
