GOING: S(5)

REGAL LODGE/LEICA LUCY OAKS WINNER 2200m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Sakura Dancer should spear straight to the front of the small field. TAUPO DANCER (2) was not too bad at all in his last three runs. This looks an ideal race to clear Maidens for him. He can win this. COME TO TERMS (5) was a big improvement at her last start. Ace draw here. Chance in this to pay a dividend again. MR MIYAGI (4) is ready to pay a dividend after a solid performance last time out. Stamina looks his calling and he is a trifecta chance in this. LAZY (1) nice effort last time. Not bad three starts back too. Strong chance to break through in this type of field. ROGUE ROMANCE (8) has been not too bad of late. Drawn well and is a place and a first four chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taupo Dancer is a win wager.
