HOLE IN ONE GOLF TAUPO 1800m Track: SOFT7 Out 5m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo anticipated with Prominere and In Tune pressing forward with Wave Ruler not far away. PROMINERE (6) has been game in defeat in her last couple of starts, and the step up to 1800m will suit her. She is poised to go one better in this. VADASHA (5) has been in sound form on the poly track at Cambridge, and she can carry that form through into this race providing that the track is not too wet. THE DARZI (4) ran a couple of big races through a winter campaign, and an improving track would do him no harm. He is capable of getting the job done here. RIPPIN ALONG (7) has been thereabouts through the winter over 1600m, and an extra 200m at this stage of her prep will suit her. Stick with her on an each-way basis. WAVE RULER (1) has not always had the best of luck this prep, and he can spice up any top 4 combos in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prominere can win this, and Wave Ruler for value.
