GOING:

SADDLERY WAREHOUSE 1300m

Track: AW     True  

Super Dailo and Shamel Express should set a strong clip. SHAMEL EXPRESS (3) had a good trip and lifted late to score an easy win here nearly 3 weeks ago over this trip. He is up in class, but has Craig Grylls in the saddle, and can repeat the dose. MARS (2) failed to fire on a testing heavy track at Ruakaka 18 days ago. She won here before that over this trip, and is expected to bounce straight back into the money here. ROCKIN ROSIE (4) finished third last time out, 6 weeks ago, and the space between starts will do her no harm. Stick with her on an each-way basis. OPAEA JOE (6) will be peaking third up, and the small field will enhance his top 3 claims. Don't risk him. SUPER DAILO (5) has been below his best recently but has had excuses. Include in combinations in a small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mars can bounce straight back into the top 3 here.
