CRAIGS INVESTMENT PARTNERS 1400m Track: GOOD 4 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with Super Legocy and I'll Be Home Soon leading from New Recruit and Liechtenstein. UNWRITTEN (9) was a beaten favourite at Te Aroha 8 days ago when finding the mile a touch too far 8 days ago. She is better placed over this trip, and from a decent gate, she can bounce back and win a race like this. LIECHTENSTEIN (7) finished fourth as the favourite at Otaki 3 weeks ago when hitting the line too late over 1200m 3 weeks ago. She is getting stronger all the time and is now ready to try 1400m again. Follow your money. SUPER LEGOCY (1) has held his form since winning his maiden at Te Rapa at the end of January. He was only run down late at Matamata when finishing second there 2 weeks ago. Each way claims again. LODI DODI (12) has needed both of her starts back from a spell, and she is perfectly placed in this. A wide draw should not be too much of an issue, and she is good enough to take this out. HAKUSHU (3) ran on strongly late at Matamata a fortnight ago in a similar field, and he is worth including in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lodi Dodi each way.
