AHV POWER SERVICES 1600m Track: HEAVY 10 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a modest tempo established by Craftsman who can cross from the outside draw. RIO GRANDE (5) is dropping back from a couple of recent modest efforts over 2100m, including his last start at Ellerslie less than 2 weeks ago. He cops a wide gate, but if he can find his form from last year, then he is good enough to run into the top 4 here. CRAFTSMAN (13) needed his fresh run for a new stable at Awapuni nearly 3 weeks ago on the poly track there, and his only placing came on this course second up last year. He may still be a maiden, but he is a top 4 chance in this. PINKER (2) had excuses fresh up when beaten out of sight, and he was much better at Whanganui 6 days ago when finishing a game runner-up. He has the pole position and can go one better. RITHIM (11) resumes from a spell, and her recent trial was not too bad. Include. RIOMOSA (3) is at his best when it is heavy, and he found 1200m too short last time out. Stick with him over 1600m in this. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rio Grande each way.
