GOING:

INTOWIN.CO.NZ JOIN A SYNDICATE 1700m

Track: AW     True  

Without a designated pacemaker it will probably turn into a dash home. A SENSIBLE PRINCE (1) was a beaten favourite here fresh up and then was beaten by a nose here last month. This field is not strong at all, and he is the one to beat. CRAFTSMAN (2) is heading the right way and was beaten by a handy type at Woodville on a heavy track 3 weeks ago over a mile. He has a better draw and should make up the quinella with the top pick. UNCLE KEN (3) made his debut here last month and ran on strongly late for third over this trip. He will naturally improve second up and should claim his first win at short notice. RICH RUBY (7) dropped out over 2140m here last time out and can only but improve third up. Include for first four combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: A Sensible Prince can take this out.
