GOING: F

"NZ WARRIORS RUNNER BONUS BACK AT ADDINGTON" PACE 2600m

Track: FAST      

WHATZ MY CHOICE (2) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when second over 2000m at this track, beaten a neck. Has the benefit of a good draw. Stepping up a level this time, but he is good enough to take this out. WAIKAKA (8) turned in a much better run when second up last start, finishing second over 2400m at Mt Harding. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meeting a deeper field this time, but he has the ability to mix it with them. DANCING N HEAVEN (4) was beaten 12 metres on debut last start over 2400m at Mt Harding. Has plenty of scope for improvement. MYSTERY BEACH (10) disappointed last time when sixth over 1980m at this track. Can do a lot better, so worth considering on an each-way basis.
