GOING: G(4)

TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

Sacred Combatant and Esperanza can pave the way. ESPERANZA (8) was a sound run at her first start here. Can pay a dividend today in this line-up. JUST LIKE THIS (6) is a definite improver on two good runs this time in. Certainly a quinella and trifecta chance here drawn the ace. WHO ROX THE HOUSE (5) she has been placed in both of her runs here. Another big run is on the cards. Well drawn. Trifecta and first four must in this field. SACRED COMBATANT (2) is sure to be an improver on his debut effort. Multiples must in this from an awkward draw. SUPERIOR (7) a return to clockwise here definitely suits this filly in this line up. Go on that strong debut run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Esperanza and Just Like This are win wagers.
