STAY AT TAUHERENIKAU MAIDEN 1600m Track: SOFT 5 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine pace headed by Parklight Prince who should kick up along the paint. THRILLING (8) was only beaten by a nose at Waverley nearly a fortnight ago and will be spot-on with her fitness third up from a spell. She won't have to improve by much to go one better in this. POSSESS (6) resumes from a short spell with a quiet trial under his belt. He was going to start at a recently abandoned meeting and had a fair amount of market support that day. Watch closely here. TIK TOK TED (4) is a stablemate of the second pick who has been progressing nicely with racing. He drops to a mile from 1800m, and is right in this. Each way. PARKLIGHT PRINCE (3) set the pace and weakened late over 1800m at Taupo nearly 7 weeks ago, and may take some pegging back here over a mile. Stick with him. LEGACY (10) closed off his race nicely at Waverley last time out, and will be close to her peak fitness for this assignment. A wide draw may not be a bad thing on a wet track, and he has top 3 claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Possess each way value.
