GOING: G

Ajc Members Mdn 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Cloudy   Rail: True.  

There is suspect pace in the race if Arrivo runs in the race prior to this as expected. The debut second by ON THE NIGHTTRAIN was distant but it still looks good enough form to win this and an extra 200m should be a big help too. SUPER VINO ran soundly enough at his first start and is a quinella and trifecta must slightly better drawn. MISS ANONYMOUS may be the leader by default in this. The rider on today was aboard for when she ran her only placing. Include. MIGHTY ASLAN was a trial third here prior to first start on the track. Chance. FIVE STARS never got into the race on debut left-handed and you can always forgive a flop at Te Rapa.. Clockwise can help matters. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Vino a banker quinella wager.

Dual acceptor. Finished off last campaign 12th of 14 runners at Ruakaka 3yo+ Mdn in Jun last year over 1400m, 7-1/2 len behind Tavezbac carrying 58.5kg. When resuming last campaign began awkwardly and shifted out near 800m; 6th of 13 runners at this track 3yo+ Mdn in Mar last year over 1200m, 5 len behind O'he Can carrying 58.5kg. Better than one placing in nine runs would suggest.

At debut, began awkwardly and lost ground; ran last at Te Rapa 3yo Mdn Jan 20 over 1200m, 6-3/4 len behind Cenghar with 57.5kg. Always forgive a flop at Te Rapa as that track is very manmade biased and has stinging kickback.
