GOING: G(4)

LIQUORLAND WANGANUI MDN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

Platinum Norway should lead at a keen tempo. GIRL CODE (6) made a solid debut when finishing second as a warm favourite here just over 3 weeks ago. She will only improve from that experience, and she should go close to taking this out, so follow your money. OKLAHOMA (8) battled away well enough for third here last time out, and she wouldn't mind some cut in the ground. She is fully fit now, and she can figure in the top 4 again. ENSIGN ARIA (9) has a few tricks up her sleeve, and she did run a good race when fresh last prep. Depending on her mood, she is worth including in all top 4 combos. FLOWERS EMBER (1) has looked good in a couple of trials to date, and his stable loves to trek to the Central Districts to win races with their team. Check the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Girl Code can take this out.
