GOING: S(5)

RICCARTON PARK FUNCTION CENTRE MAIDEN 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

There is good pace and pressure in this opening Maiden for the meeting over 1400m. HARRY GEE (1) runs for a new stable now. Win chance for sure. SAILING AWAY (8) was well backed fresh up. Go again better drawn here. HIVARI (7) has not gone a poor race. The extra 200m here is a plus. Can pay a dividend. ZOOM (9) four times placed. Wide gate but can handle it. Goes on dry and wet. FIRST LIEUTENANT (3) is close to paying a first dividend this time in for new yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harry Gee and Sailing Away are win wagers.
