GOING: S(6)

NZB RTR 3YO 1200m

Track: SOFT 6     True  

A small field, but the tempo should still be genuine. BELZONI (1) finished a game this fresh up over 1200m at Otaki 4 weeks ago and has been close up in a trial at Foxton since then. He has plenty of scope and should continue to improve throughout the rest of the year. Each way. WAR PRINCESS (4) won a trial prior to finishing midfield in the Whanganui Guineas. Stick with her. Include. TULSA KING (2) caused an upset when winning fresh up, but did win easily. The small field here means he can repeat the dose. STAR ONEHUNDRED (8) is on debut and has to be given a chance in the small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belzoni can win this.
