New Plymouth Raceway   10 Jun 2025
 
GOING: H(10)

ONE BOLD CAT @ G1 ARROWFIELD R65 2000m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 11.5m  

Theres nothing to run them along. COCKTAIL LAD (4) is an obvious improver here on his fresh-up effort. He has won second up before and is a wet tracker. KING KHAN (1) was not too bad a run fresh up. Placed here in three of six starts and has been placed second up before. Quinella and trifecta chance. DANCIN IN THE DARK (2) cleared Maidens at his last start. Drawn the ace once again. Definitely a chance in this particular field. JAMAICAN BOY (3) was just fair at last start having cleared Maidens the run before. Drops back 400m here to 2000m. Not out of this at all. KEEN ON BUBBLES (6) was poor fresh up. Has been placed second up. Course placed. Rise in trip here suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cocktail Lad is the one to beat in this field.
