GOING: S(6)

MULTI ETHNIC XTRAVAGANZA SOUTH AMERICA 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

No designated leader and Saltburn may find himself in front. TSUNAMI SUE (8) is a promising filly who was a game third on debut and then raced greenly when finishing out of the money at Hawera 8 days ago. It is encouraging to see her backing up so quickly, and she can bounce back to win a race like this. CHICA DE ORO (10) hails from the leading Walker/Bergerson stable, and she has the breeding to cope with a wet track. Her trial form is near enough, and she is sure to be ready to rumble. KINGSBROOK DIVA (7) found the going too tough in the Listed Oaks prelude, and her form prior is the guide to use. She has each-way claims back in her rightful class. SALTBURN (1) probably should have won a race by now, and he has just needed all of his starts this prep to reach full fitness. He has a good gate and is ready to put his best hoof forward now. Include in all combinations. KING JAKKAL (4) ran his best race yet at Hawera 8 days ago when finishing third. He will relish getting out to a mile for the first time, and he can win this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsbrook Diva each way value.
