SKYCITY HORIZON 1600m Track: SOFT5 True
There is good pace and pressure to end the days racing here over a Mile. HE'S CLASSIC (3) racing super and handles it dry and wet. All of his form has come clockwise. Big chance. BLUE SKY AT NIGHT (6) easier here than last start. Ace gate fresh up. Threat on dry or wet ground. MATANE (9) only miss so far came left-handed. Well drawn here. Senior rider on. Chance. LERADO (1) last-start winner who can measure up again. Has won on dry and wet ground. Can cope wide draw and all. GIGI (2) class dropper. Has won on this class at 58.5kg. Definite threat. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's Classic and Matane are win wagers.
