GOING: S(6)

GREG THORP BLASTING & KERIKERI TILE DIRECT 1300m

Track: HEAVY     Out 8m  

The race pace here is not too bad overall for a small field. FERNANDEZ (3) won her Maiden here and has been placed five times too. Ace gate. Top tier must in this field no matter the footing on offer. Looks the winner in this field. VANTAANA (9) is racing much better than it reads in her last four starts. Quinella and trifecta chance in this line up for sure. QUARTZ QUEEN (8) is a course proven runner. Place and first four chance at best in this field. ZLATNA (5) is a local and give her another chance in this after last start miss when second up. She handles it both dry and wet crucially. YARI (2) was very poor fresh up. Forgive that flop as he had won a trial prior. Dry tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fernandez is a win wager.
