GOING: G(4)

SKYCITY HORIZON 1600m

Track: GOOD     Out 7m  

The race pace here looks decent overall for a Mile and the pressure should be on for large parts of the event. BLISSFUL LADY (4) has drawn the ace draw fresh up. Trial third earlier this month so ready to go. Win chance on dry or wet ground here for sure. ARROWETTE (9) gets a winning rider atop. Threat no matter what the footing is. ROEDERER (2) class dropper. Up 4kg here but is eachway still. HASSTOBEPERFECT (6) is a partial class riser. Well drawn and cannot be omitted. BURGUNDY IFF (5) bucked early pulled up at last start. Prior placing here is the better guide. Cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blissful Lady and Roederer are win wagers.
