GOING: S(5)

WAIKATO DRAUGHT 2100m

Track: SOFT     Out 9m  

There is pace and pressure at times in this big Maiden field around two-turns over 2100m. AVORIAZ (13) is an each-way chance here fresh up and she has drawn well enough too. Bred to win races for certain. Trial fourth earlier this month and the tote will be very telling indeed. EVERYMOVEYOUMAKE (14) she is improving in each of her starts and drawn to be top tier once again today. Quinella and trifecta must in this line up. CHEVAL BOUTIQUE (10) is better overall than a twice-placed mare. Course placed. Place and first four chance here for sure. I PARK (7) was just beaten at his last start. Wide gate. Much improved of late. Include everywhere you can in this. EMPHATIC (4) has been much improved so far this time in. Ace draw. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avoriaz is a win wager.
