GOING: S(5)

MANCO 2100m

Track: SOFT     True  

Slick tempo with Up The Anti to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. COURT OF APPEAL (10) she has run well at all starts this time in. Has won om dry and wet footing. Win chance here for sure. HE'S CLASSIC (9) scored narrowly over 2100m at Pukekohe last time out with today's jockey Triston Moodley in the irons. Class and a half riser. Proven on dry and wet. Big chance here down 4kg. EMBEZZLER (2) is a multiple class dropper after last start form reversal win. Up 4.5kg here but can cope. He is proven on dry and wet ground. GENTIAN BLUE (8) she is a course winner. Dry tracker overall. Definite chance here. UP THE ANTI (5) missed by a nose at last start. Course winner. Drawn well and cannot be omitted here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Court Of Appeal and He's Classic are win wagers.
