GOING: G(4)

Auckland Thoroughbred Racing Inc. Trophy 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Field Of Flutes and Elouyou to take up the running at a strong tempo. ELOUYOU (12) resumes. He won two on the bounce at Geelong prior to his first spell and looked very smart winning by over 3 lengths when going straight from maiden to BM70 grade. Talented horse who can measure right up with D Lane booked to ride. FLYING ON A LIMB (9) was good first-up before an even effort in a bunched finish at this track and trip last start. Won't need to improve much to take this out. DIRECT (1) comes back from a listed placing at Oakbank. Certainly up to winning this at his best. VELOCE CARRO (10) resumes. He's a consistent type who has form around some handy horses. Respect. ZION (11) can improve off a solid first-up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elouyou to win.
