GOING: S(5)

TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 8m  

Moderate pace from Pizarro taking it up with Zenzero Girl and Out Of Exile on his back. PIZARRO (2) was close up at his last start. Has won a trial since. Each-way all day in this line up. OUT OF EXILE (10) has run good seconds in her last two starts. Drawn out but still a quinella and trifecta must in this particular field. ROLLING STONE (5) is a gelding by Ribchester facing the starter for the first time. Twice trialled for a win and a second. Well drawn. Chance if he is run here withhout any doubt. BERNIE'S EGO (3) is an old timer resuming. Better than a once placed gelding. Not out of this at all even as an 8yo. ZENZERO GIRL (6) has been not too bad so far. Stronger for the break. A place or the first four is possible here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pizarro and Rolling Stone are win wagers.
