GOING: S(7)

THE ROTORUA CLUB 1400m Track: SOFT True
There looks to be good pace and pressure in this last event of the meeting. SLIPPER ISLAND (1) is a class dropper here. He has not gone too badly at all so far this time in and handles both dry and wet footing. Drawn wide but can still win this for sure. GIRLS LIGHT UP (5) has produced good placings in both starts this time in. After a 3kg claim is a top tier must here for sure. LOVEAROADIE (8) has been course placed. Wide gate. Still a trifecta and first four include here. MOON MONEY (9) was a close second fresh up. Handles it dry and wet. Wide gate again. Still must be included. DROP OF SOMETHING (2) is a chance fresh up in this. Wet tracker. Has run fourth twice in three runs here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slipper Island and Girls Light Up are win wagers. Box the quinella as a saver of that pair plus Lovearoadie.
