RUAKAKA NZ'S BEST BET IN WINTER 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Out 3m  

This race pace here looks assured in this juvenile field with an abundance of speed plus many here only know to go flat out from barrier rise. DUPONT (1) is a 2yo gelding by Belardo on debut. Three times trialled for two wins and a second. Dam has left You Know (2 wins). Drawn to score. YOU BID YOU BUY (2) is a 2yo gelding (Rubick - Biddable) on debut. Has been trialled on two occasions leading into today's race. Won a barrier trial at Arawa Park over 800m June 11. Fourth the other time. Big chance. DUA DANCE (6) is a daughter of Yes Yes Yes out of Cornerstone who was purchased for NZD $115,000 (NZB 2023 Karaka - Book 1). Has had two trials for a win then a second. Trifecta and first four chance. HARD ATTACK (3) has been twice placed and both came after leading up on dry ground. Ace gate here. Can pay a dividend. SKYMAX (4) has been better at last two runs. Rider atop claims 2kg and has placed on her before. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dupont and You Bid You Buy are win wagers.
