GOING: S

HORIZON BY SKYCITY 1200m

Track: SOFT     Out 5m  

Moderate pace only with Butterfield leading Pippy. TOMODACHI (5) won very well when fresh up. Has scored second up before and is proven on both dry and wet footing. This looks to be hers for the taking. GLAMOUR TYCOON (3) won well at her last start. She is up 2.5kg but can cope for sure. Drawn to be a top tier must. DAZZLED (2) was a course winner two starts ago. She is best on rain-affected footing. Trifecta and first four chance here. POUR THE WINE (1) is a multiple class dropper in this. Course winner. Each-way in this line up for certain. PIPPY (4) was a trial second last month. Has won two of three starts when fresh up. Cannot be omitted in this small field at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tomodachi and Glamour Tycoon are win wagers.
