GOING: S(7)

SEE YOU @ TE RAPA TAVERN 1400m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 4m  

Reasonable tempo with Erin Go Bragh probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ERIN GO BRAGH (4) needed his resuming run at Ellerslie when finishing sixth as the favourite, and then was beaten by a nose here a fortnight ago. He benefits from a 2kg claim and is set to go one better here. RIBKRAKA (5) caught the eye with a big late finish for sixth here 2 weeks ago, and he will relish the extra 200m on offer here. With a big swing in his draw third up, he can figure in the top 3. RENOVATIONS (6) battled away gamely as the favourite when finishing third at Otaki 4 weeks ago, and she will continue to progress with more racing. A wide gate at this time of the day may not be a bad thing, and she is worth each-way consideration again. COSMOPOLITAN (14) is a promising filly who just got up in a tight go here nearly 3 weeks ago. A wide gate is no help, but stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Erin Go Bragh each way.
