NZ TRAINERS "GIVE A LITTLE? FOR AMANDA 1600m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace here looks a tad suspect in this small field. FELLINI (1) is a win chance here for sure. He has been racing well for quite a while now. Premiership leading rider atop in this. No negative in this lineup at all. SINCERE (2) this is harder here but he is in form and in fact live on a hat-trick. Much improved this time in for sure. MARYWEKA (6) she is ready to pay a dividend and is drawn to do so today. Course placed. Each-way for certain. VAMOS (4) well drawn in this but is facing a stronger depth line up here. Harder here but he is drawn well. Place and first four chance. BLANCHE (7) is a place and first four chance at best here. Has won on dry and wet. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fellini is a win wager.
