GOING:

WAIPA EARTHWORKS 970m

Track: AW     True  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. WATCH ME GO (2) ran a super close-up third here on debut. He had won a trial very easily here prior. One to beat in this. BALLBEENA (6) was a good close second here fresh up and beat the top pick home narrowly. Awkward draw this time. Still a top two must. SUPER STAR DRAGON (1) has been solid enough in his last two runs here. He can pay a dividend again or be in the first four. QUE SYRAH SYRAH (3) is a gelding by Proisir on debut. Has had three trials for a win (here) and a second. Dam has left Grand Cru (3 wins). Not out of this at all. ROCKY MOUNTAIN (4) is a gelding by Cosmic Force making his first appearance. Won an Ellerslie trial over 800m on May 9. Drawn to be a chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watch Me Go and Ballbeena do look to be the quinella here
