2 12:36 CAMPBELL INFRASTRUCTURE 1400m
The race pace looks not too bad here in this 1400m event. VANTAANA (8) won her Maiden on this very track. Wet tracker too. Senior rider atop in this. Ticks betting boxes galore today so offers great appeal. She can in fact win this for sure. WELL I NEVER (5) is a class dropper in this. Well drawn. Eachway here no matter the footing on offer. MATETSI (4) was a trial winner here last month so he is ready to resume. Well drawn. Wet tracker. Include in all of your multiples. ROBBIE BURNS (3) same stable in this but he is now prepared at Te Aroha. Trial second clockwise last month. Well drawn. Swimmer. Tote will tell you for sure. MISTER PUCCI (1) he has been course placed. Mudder. Place and first four chance here.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Vantaana and Well I Never are win wagers.
3 01:08 ARAWA PARK HOTEL ROTORUA 1560m
There looks to be decent enough pace and pressure in this 1560m event. POPTHEBUBBLES (5) she is a class riser here and drops 2kg. Winning senior rider on today. Swimmer and can cope in this without a doubt. ITZA CHARMDEEL (2) he beat this class easily last start and she can handle the 2kg rise here for sure. Course proven. Swimmer drawn well. Must include in all your wagers. DIOMEDES (3) better than his last start indicates. Wet tracker. In form senior rider atop. Chance for sure. SULABELLA (8) is a multiple class dropper on last start. Same weight here so very well in. Has won on dry and wet footing. WHAT A CHARMER (10) was not too bad fresh up but then poor last time. Senior rider atop.

Handles both dry and wet ground.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Wee Rhona and Mi Amigo are win wagers.

7 03:29 GREENLIGHT INSURANCE BROKERS 1215 M 1215m
The race pace in this Maiden event over 1215m looks marginal because of all the scratchings for what is the final race of the meeting. MURCH (1) has been placed in his first three starts and one of them came right here.
