ROBOW'S 1600m Track: HEAVY True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Gate Crashers and Carooba Mawhooba up front. INTOXICATED (3) produced a nice effort on debut over 1600m at Tauranga when second, beaten a nose. Can go one better here. Should have no wet track concerns either. MODELO (2) finished second last time over 1600m at Tauranga to make it two minor placings from four career runs. Has weighed in at both tries over this distance. Local and has run well in three of his four runs. Well drawn. Top tier must here at home. BALLISTIC MISS (13) is an improver on fresh up placing here. Trifecta and first four chance. GATE CRASHERS (10) has been twice runner up at the trials so forward to resume. First look left-handed. Bred to win races. XPLORER (4) has been once placed and it came here. Ace draw. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Intoxicated and Modelo are win wagers.
