RUAKAKA - NZ'S BEST BET IN WINTER 2100m Track: GOOD Out 11m |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The race pace looks okay in this Maiden even to start the day around two-turns. SUNSET BOULEVARD (1) has had close defeats in both runs so far. Bred to win multiple times and this looks like a soft kill. LI LI (7) she has not gone a poor race and is top tier if run here drawn well. PURE DELIGHT (6) is consistent and has run six placings. Handles it dry and wet. Trifecta and first four must. JAMAICA FAREWELL (5) ace gate and has run well for a while now. Always a place and first four chance on dry or wet ground. PRINCESS TERESA (8) good run at last start. Can pay a first dividend today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sunset Boulevard is a win wager.
