GOING: H(8)

ASHFORD MOTOR LODGE CHRISTCHURCH POURAKINO HANDICAP 2147m

Track: HEAVY     True  

Short to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. TOMYTURBO (1) he is a class dropper in this. Three runs here for two wins and a placing so loves the joint. Distance proven. Win chance for sure in this field. QUICK CALL (5) was not to bad in her last two runs. Wet tracker. Include in all of your multiples. SHORT (2) three of his last four runs have been very good. Ace gate. Swimmer. Cannot be overlooked in this for any of your multiples. ON THE RIVET (12) he is a course proven runner. Wet tracker in the main. Racing better than it reads for quite a while. A MANDARIN (11) has been not too bad in two of four runs this year. Has won on dry and wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tomyturbo is a win wager.
