GOING: S(6)

SIGN AND DESIGN TARARUA 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     True  

Although on a small field the presence of some unraced runners should ensure a solid clip. KODIAC BEAR (2) makes his debut off the back of a recent trial win at Foxton late last month. A good draw helps, and with Bruno Queiroz riding so well at the moment, he is the one to beat. OUR SNIPER (1) made progress as a juvenile and is bred to improve with time. He won the latest of his 3 tune-up trials, and will be ready to rumble fresh up. Watch the market moves. BRUTIFUL LASS (4) was stakes placed as a juvenile, and will be resuming without a public trial, which can be concerning if the track is wet. She is good enough to win this. PAUATUI (7) needs to improve but she is the best of the rest in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kodiac Bear to win on debut.

First-starter by Puccini out of Marshal. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Second-up. Comes off a 46-day let-up. First-up after four months ran last of 12 at Taupo on September 17 over 1400m, slow going 28 len behind Amusement carrying 55kg at $44.10. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Wanganui on May 31 over 1200m, in the wet; 8 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 54kg at $49.60. That run was a bit plain so prefer her later on.
