TCL EARTHWORKS 970m Track: AW True |

On The Fly should lead at a strong tempo. PETITE ROCHER (3) makes her season debut in a very modest maiden on a poly track for the first time, and from a good gate with Michael McNab in the saddle, she would want to go close to winning this. ZAC GARY (1) trekked South fresh up to finish third by less than a length at Awapuni-synthetic nearly 4 weeks ago, and from the pole position, she is the likely leader. Craig Grylls picks up the ride, and the pair should be very competitive. THE SWEETEST SONG (8) has been showing talent at the trials, winning her latest less than a month ago. She has picked out a nice race for her debut, and the market will be a strong guide. APOTHEOSIS (4) is a stablemate of the third pick who resumed with a fair seventh here 12 days ago. She carried plenty of market support that day, so stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Petite Rocher is the one to beat.
