Otaki   25 Feb 2017
 
GOING: G(3)

Hunting & Fishing Otaki (Bm75) 1600m

Track: GOOD3   Partly Cloudy   Rail: True | Heavy Dew.  

Bronsteel and Waipipi Lad can roll forward from the jump. BRONSTEEL drops in grade after placing in a Listed race over this trip last start. She had placed in her three runs before that after a Woodville win. Should give a big sight in this company. Plenty of pace and pressure in this field so no place for the faint-hearted. WAIPIPI LAD is racing well and will be in this from the outset. Drawn to score. BRONSTEEL the weight special in the field after a last start Listed placing against her own sex. Drops in grade and 2.5kg in this. Races well at her home track that will not be after today. Winning rider atop. ABBEY ROAD a pace influence. Senior rider on today and he has won twice aboard the gelding. Doctor Watson is too consistent to omit and is a local. Scoota Brown is up in grade but won rather well last start. Balham is down many classes here and coming back in distance by a mile. Chance at 59kg after a claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bronsteel was placed at stakes level last time - backing her to win back to a benchmark.
