Woodville   30 Apr 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

PROPERTY BROKERS PAHIATUA/WOODVILLE 1100m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 2m from 1600m to 1200m, remainder True  

Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. MELKOR (1) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Waverley. The 300m drop in trip here is a plus. Can go one or two better here. MELTEMI (8) led up at first two runs when second each time. Drawn well fresh up. Obvious chance. BRILLIANT BATTLE (15) was a trial second earlier this month so ready to resume. Expecting a strong run fresh. Can counter a wide gate. VAPORIZE (10) is an improver on fresh-up run. Trial winner easily in February. Wide draw. CASINO (9) is a Bryce Newman-trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Looked good in a recent trial win. Drawn out but she will attract some backing here. Include everywhere. SUGGESTED PLAY: Melkor and Meltemi are win wagers.
