THE ROTORUA CLUB 1400m Track: HEAVY 10 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Off the low draw Kenwood House is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. SNEAKY CYCLONE (4) is working his way toward an overdue maiden win, and his third at Te Aroha 10 days ago as the favourite was solid enough for a race like this. He handles the mud here, and surely he goes close to winning here. CHAPPY (1) is another promising gelding who will pick up a win at short notice, and after his close-up second as the favourite at Matamata 17 days ago, today could be that day. Follow your money. KENWOOD HOUSE (2) had to work a touch too hard to find the front from a wide gate at Cambridge on the poly track last time out, and failed to finish his run off, finishing well back. He has been placed twice from 3 starts here, and he can bounce straight back into form, especially from a superior draw. SALTBURN (3) has been having no luck with his barrier draws, but his form has still been near enough. Include in all top 4 combos. CLASSIC GRACE (13) got back too far from a wide draw at Matamata last start, and she can make amends from a better gate here. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sneaky Cyclone can take this out.
