GOING: G(4)

HORIZON BY SKYCITY 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. RISE COMPANIONS (5) is a four-year-old gelding (Capitalist - Miss Loren) on debut. Won his only trial very easily last month. Sure to have some serious backing so keep an eye on the tote. DEEP PURSUIT (2) turned in a solid run fresh up for a new yard, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths. He had trialled well twice prior. Can win this. SUPER DAILO (1) has been placed in half of his starts. Can handle dry and wet ground and is well drawn for resumption. Cannot be omitted in this. MO CHARAID (4) is a promising 4yo gelding who has plenty of scope for improvement. Wide draw but he can cope. JACK CRABB (3) is fresh up here. Trial winner last month. Bred to win more than once. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rise Companions is a win wager.
