GOING: H(10)

SHARNA CASKEY @ METCALFE REAL ESTATE 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Expecting Daysofbliss to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. WONDERBOY (2) resumes here. Trial runner-up last month. He has been patiently handled, and his stable is in good form at the moment. On top. STEWART (1) performed well last start when second at Te Rapa over 1400m on a heavy track. He is well seasoned and can go one better here. GOOD CRAIC (6) is still a maiden after 19 starts but was placed at Trentham two back before finishing fourth at Otaki last time out. She has been placed in both of her starts on this track and gets another good chance to crack her maiden status here. CLASSY BRAHMA (9) is showing some promise and has been back to the trials since her last start seventh at New Plymouth. She can figure in the finish this time. DAYSOFBLISS (7) was third on debut at New Plymouth and has been runner-up at the recent Foxton trials since then. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stewart has sound each-way claims in this even field.
