GOING: S(5)

JET SPRINTS AT TAUHERENIKAU RATING 65 2200m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Cuba Street should find the front with Tukituki and Jungleland on his heels. TUKITUKI (1) caused an upset fresh up at Taupo when making the most of a top Bruno Queiroz ride, and with only a slight rise in class, they are set to combine again to repeat the dose. ROGUE ROMANCE (4) caught the eye fresh up at Trentham 2 weeks ago when finishing third over a mile. The extra 600m is ideal, and she will be mowing down the front runners again late in this. CALL A FRIEND (9) has been mixing her form and found a mile too short last start at Trentham. She is worth another chance over a more suitable trip this time. KEEPITINYOURWALLET (3) steps up to 2200m for the first time and won't lack fitness. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tukituki can win again.
