MANNING INVESTMENTS 970m Track: SYNTHETIC True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. TOSS (7) won a recent trial very easily, and should be suited by 970m on debut in a thin field. If she copes with the poly track, then she should be very competitive. Use the market as the best guide. IN THE VINEYARD (10) was thereabouts in all 4 starts during her initial prep earlier in the year, and she resumes from a spell with only 53.5kg to carry. Hard to beat from a good gate. EBONY GEM (6) has needed time to mature, and her trial form on this track has been very good compared to her race-day efforts on the turf. The pole position makes her one of the hardest to hold out here. AWAKEN (2) has changed stables since his last run at Pukekohe in early April, and a poly track may suit him. He benefits from a 4kg claim, and he is not the worst in this field. MIVIRGO (1) will have no fitness concerns third up, and his best form has been around this circuit. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mivirgo each way.
