TAB 1550m Track: AW True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace evident with Billy Lincoln and Wainui Bay leading the way from Flamboyance and Spanish Lad. AGERA (2) fought on strongly for fourth as favourite on a heavy track at Te Rapa 18 days ago and was third there before that. He has been placed in his only start on this track, and is nicely placed after a claim from in-form apprentice Sam McNab. On top, despite the wide gate. BILLY LINCOLN (3) was a beaten favourite here nearly 2 weeks ago when racing in the open. He has a better gate here, and Michael McNab is back in the saddle. Follow your money. JUST ONE (7) was well back when resuming on this track nearly 2 weeks ago and usually improves with racing. He will appreciate the extra 250m and is expected to improve quickly. HEART OF GOLD (1) resumes from a spell from a good draw, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just One is capable of taking this out at some value.
