HARCOURTS OTAKI MAIDEN 1600m
Genuine tempo with Scandalize and Whooshka pressing for the lead. BRADLEY (3) was a good improver second up. Well drawn in this field. Each-way all day in this particular line up. JOAN'S JOKER (4) is racing better than a single placing shows. Quinella and trifecta must in this race without a doubt. SCANDALIZE (5) has not gone a poor race so far. Wide gate here. Still a trifecta and first four must in this field. LETS ALL BOOGIE (8) has been placed in three of four runs here. Has run four seconds in her last five runs. Include her everywhere in this for certain. PORT CHALMER (6) his last start effort was very good. He has in fact run well in three of his four starts so far. Chance here for sure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bradley and Scandalize are win wagers. |

CAVALLO FARMS & CHRIS RUTTEN BLOODSTOCK TWO YEAR OLD 1200m
Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to take it up. QUEEN'S EVIDENCE (6) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson. By King's Legacy from Enjay. She has had three recent trials leading in today's debut. Won her most recent trial at Ellerslie over 800m on February 11. Has the pedigree so is a win chance here. THE ESPY (4) is an Andrew Forsman trained two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Comfortable trial winner. Inside barrier will assist chances. Top tier must. PERFECT HABIT (3) is a Mark Forbes trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Ellerslie trial. Good draw will assist chances. Betting the best guide. BRUTIFUL LASS (5) not too bad a second on debut from the ace. She is drawn out here. Place and first four hope as race day experience matters. SAVACHI BOY (1) has the ace barrier again. Can place or be first four here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen's Evidence and The Espy are win wagers. |
