GOING: S(5)

TAB 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 8m  

Lots of pace on paper so expect a genuine tempo. SHAMWARI (1) he has not gone a poor race so far. Ace draw in this and it matters. Win chance here without any doubt. TENFOOT TALL (6) wasn't far away on debut over 1400m at Pukekohe, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. It was a decent effort overall. She was a trial second here prior. Definite top tier danger today. TARZADOR (5) was not too bad a run fresh up. Improver in this line-up. Drawn out but a place and first four hope in this. WHITE MASK (7) was a trial winner last month here. Chance fresh up in this field. MISS MANZOR (9) has been not too bad so far this time in. Chance to place or be first four in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shamwari and Tenfoot Tall are win wagers.
