GOING: H(9)

OTAKI TYRE REPAIRS PREMIER 2100m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Mckhan should be able to comfortably find the front. TISSE (3) made up a lot of ground at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago when finishing runner-up behind a smart type. He is rock-hard fit, and he can get the job done this time. JUST CHARLIE (2) is heading the right way with his form, and had won a trial prior to finishing fourth last time out as favourite at Trentham 3 weeks ago. Follow your money here. MCKHAN (1) led up and only weakened late when finishing fifth in the same race as the second pick. He may try similar front-running tactics here, and on this track, he could take them all the way. TAI (5) also comes out of the same race as the second pick last start. He is only lightly tried for a 7-year-old gelding, and still has more to offer. Stick with him on an each-way basis. GRAND PROSPECT (9) has been mixing his form, but he has some chance at a top 4 finish here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tisse can go one better here.
