VETS ON RIVERBANK MAIDEN 1200m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. RIOMOSA (1) has strengthened up this season, and his last 2 starts have produced a pair of solid thirds, most recently at Otaki a fortnight ago. He has a good gate, and is well worth each-way consideration again. LEDHAVEN CASSIE (5) was placed in all 4 starts during his initial prep, and will be a lot stronger this season. He has not been seen at the trials, but if ready, he won't be far away. Check the markets. FAWNZOR (6) tried hard second up when finishing fourth at New Plymouth nearly 2 weeks ago. She will be peaking third up, and is set to put her best hoof forward in this. Each way value. ZAC GARY (4) will be making his debut, and he has had no less than 6 trials. He benefits from a 2kg claim, and his stable usually have them ready to rumble at the races. Check the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fawnzor each way.
