GOING: G(4)

MYRACEHORSE 1300m

Track: GOOD4     Out 7m  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. MOSCHINO (5) continues to have no luck with her barrier draws, and she was left with too much to date at Pukekohe last time out when settling a long way back early on. He form prior was building nicely, and she can make amends in this, especially if the tempo up front is genuine. WIND RUSH (1) was not that far away in a stronger field here just over a fortnight ago, and he will close to his peak fitness third up from a spell. He carries 3kg less this time, thanks to a claim, and is good enough to take it out. PERMISSIVE (10) was a beaten favourite in a weaker field at Rotorua 15 days ago when hitting the line strongly late. She is also peaking at the right time, and maybe the 2.5kg weight drop can make all the difference. Follow your money. SOCIAL CLIMBER (6) was marginally better last time out, but has been a tad disappointing this prep. She is capable, and worth another chance. Each way. SCOUSER (4) is a consistent mare, and Warren Kennedy sticks with her. Include in all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Social Climber each way.
