GOING: S(5)

RACE A HORSE WITH TE AKAU 1200m

Track: SOFT     Out 9m  

The race pace looks decent in this Maiden field over 1200m. CAPTAIN STAN (2) is the one to beat here drawn well after two good placings. Dual trial winner before his debut. ST GILES (3) ran well in two solid runs then got spelled. Trial winner earlier this month. Drawn wide. Cannot be omitted in this field. LEGACY (15) is three-year-old filly making debut by Savabeel out of Quest. Three times trialled for two wins. Dam has left three winning foals with Commander (4 wins) the most prolific. Definite chance. IMA WARRIOR (11) was not too bad in all three of her runs then got spelled. Trial second earlier in month. Chance here for sure. MATAKANA GIRL (7) won a Matamata trial over 1000m on January 14. Chance here for all of your multiples fresh up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Stan is a win wager.
