GOING: H(8)

SKYCITY HAMILTON 1200m

Track: HEAVY     Out 6m  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. ZIGGY STARDUST (5) has run well in all of her runs this time in. Drawn wide here but she can still win this. SCHMOOZE (1) has run well in three of four starts this time in so far. He can handle dry and wet ground as well. Wide gate. Top tier must today. BUCCINO (6) has been six times placed. One of those came here. She can handle dry or wet ground. Include everywhere. MISS FLADGATE (8) has been twice placed in her four starts. Drawn out here. Impossible to omit from this anywhere. CHILL FACTOR (3) is a gelding by Ardrossan making his first race start. Has had two trials for two wins. Dam has left two winning foals with Red Hot Chillypins (2 wins) the most prolific. Ace gate so is a threat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ziggy Stardust and Schmooze are win wagers.
