GOING:

MAKOWHAI FARMS 1700m

Track: AW     True position  

Genuine pace with Super Gold, Get Funky and Victortheinflictor leading the way. LOVE JANIE (2) has been placed in her last two runs here. The mare drops 5kg here so is very well situated indeed. Drawn out but she can still win this. LURCH (3) is a class riser and drawn well. Won too nicely here last start to omit and is also down 5kg. Include him everywhere. VICTORTHEINFLICTOR (9) has been course placed before. Well drawn today. Trifecta and first four must for all of your multiples in a field like this. FREE SPIRIT (4) has won twice when third up before. Dual course winner. She many be an 8yo but is not out of this for all of your combinations. ISLAND HOP (1) has won twice here and is an improver in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Victortheinflictor is an each-way wager.
