PIONEER - P92575 1400m

Track: HEAVY8     Out 3m from 1100m to 320m, Remainder True  

Without frontrunners engaged Wuruhi gets the chance to lead. HORONUKU (2) is a class and a half dropper here. He is a big chance to win here drawn well. GURTLYN (5) has not been too bad at his last two starts. Beaten a nose here two runs ago. Has won on dry and wet footing. Impossible to omit from anywhere in this field. WURUHI (6) was better at her last start. Partial class dropper in this line-up. Wet tracker and can place or be first four in this field. LADY PERFORMER (4) is a partial class dropper resuming. Has been placed fresh up before. Likes wet tracks. Keep an eye on the tote. GEORGIAN WARRIOR (1) is a class and a half dropper resuming. Won his Maiden fresh up. Wet tracker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Horonuku and Gurtlyn are win wagers.
