GOING: H(10)

RICCARTON PARK FUNCTION CENTRE RATING 65 1800m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 5m to the 1000m, Remainder Out 8m  

There looks to be okay pace for 1200m of this 1800m event with that 600m being a likely sit up sector of the race. WATERGATE (6) has been racing well this year. Wide draw but the mare can cope. Course placed. He can win this. SABOTS D'OR (7) drawn wide but still a top tier must in this. She can handle dry and wet ground. Has run well in all her three starts so far for new yard. GENERATION JOY (4) is well drawn in this. The mare has run well in all her last five runs. Must include here in all of your multiples. POMANDER (8) she has run well in three of four runs this campaign. Trifecta and first four must for all of your combinations. SCHEDAR (11) was a very close fourth fresh up. Won her Maiden right here. Trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watergate and Sabots D'Or are win wagers.
