GOING: G(3)

Rangiora New World (Bm65) 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Showers   Rail: Out 9m from 2000-1200, remainder Out 11m.  

A fresh Minutes To Midnight can push forward and lead with Sniparanda. From out wide Rossi The Rifle and Steadfast push on into handy spots. CZARISTA was unlucky not to win here last time. Blocked at a vital stage but picked up and hit the line hard. Has to be a strong winning hope on that form. Reasonable pace and pressure in the final event and being such a big field that will ensure there is not too many breathers allowed if any at all. The draw and form of DYNAMIC make him clearly the one to beat. One of four in this from the same yard so always be a tad wary. SNIPARINDA on his peak form is top tier for sure in this line up. CZARISTA a place and first four chance. Speedy and drawn well but always a tad suspect at the 1400m. Minutes To Midnite races well here and is too consistent to omit. First Of A Kind has been racing solidly and cannot be left out either. Ruby Row and Steadfast are first and second ballots but both are chances should they gain a start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking multiples with 7, 2, 9.
