GOING: SL

THE TYRE GENERAL TROT 2000m

Track: SLOW      

DARK GHANA (5) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing second over 2600m at this track. Big chance in this comparable race. MAJESDIX (2) turned in a much better run at her latest appearance, finishing second over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field so she can salute this time around. LOVEYOU TO DA SKYE (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 2600m at Rangiora. Should run a big race. ASPIRATIONAL DREAM (4) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 2600m at this track on April 25.
