AR PAINTERS PREMIER 2200m Track: HEAVY 10 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with Hill Of Kings, The Finnster and Roc Up Ralph taking up forward positions. OUR LADY BROOKE (9) has been doing everything but win a race lately, and was runner-up as favourite just over a fortnight ago on this track. A wide draw won't matter over 2200m, and surely her next win is not far away. Follow your money. I PARK (3) has turned a corner lately and is holding his form nicely, most recently at Ellerslie in tough fields. Stick with him. Can win. KWANZA (4) fought on well enough when finishing fifth here fresh up from a spell. He will improve quickly with that run under his belt, and should go close to taking this out. PHATS (5) has needed all 3 runs back from a spell. He came to the end of his last run late, when stuck in the worst part of the track, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. TEMPEST MOON (15) was an overdue maiden winner at Te Aroha nearly 3 weeks ago, and she has the scope to back that up with another win. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Phats to figure in the finish at nice value.
