Track: GOOD 4     Out 4m  

Pace looks strong with Pure Gold pressing on from an outside draw, joining Chasing Warrior. ANNIE OAKLEY (9) ran a much better race for fourth at Te Aroha last week, and she is nicely placed in this modest field. If this race has not come too soon for her, then she can take this out. On top for us. DID THE TRICK (5) was a touch disappointing last winter on his preferred heavy tracks, and will be a lot stronger this year. He resumes without a trial, but he has shown in the past that he is more than capable of a top 4 finish. STAGE THREE (8) did not do much last prep and resumes in a field that lacks depth. She has won fresh up in the past, and both of her career wins have been over this trip. Include in all top 4 combos. Check for any market moves. UNISON (1) was much better when bouncing back into the money at Te Aroha last week. He benefits from a 4kg claim, and he is an each-way threat again. FLEETING GLIMPSE (6) has been building her fitness, and she drops in class fourth up from a spell. A form reversal is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Annie Oakley can win this, and Fleeting Glimpse is a value each-way chance.
