WAIRAKEI GOLF AND SANCTUARY 1100m Track: SOFT7 Out 5m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. GETUPOFFATHATTHING (1) makes his debut and was an impressive trial winner late last month. Michael McNab in the saddle is a strong lead, and the leading Walker/Bergerson stable are always to be respected with their first starters. STATE OF PLAY (2) is a stablemate of the top pick, and his trial form has also been sound, including a win at Avondale. He has the pole position, and will be ready to rumble. WHISTLEJACKET (3) is another gelding making his debut, and he has also won his latest trial. A good draw is an assist, and if 1100m is not already too short for him, he should be very competitive. IMPERIAL ROSE (6) showed plenty of talent as a juvenile, and she looked in good shape when winning a recent trial very easily. Race experience accounts for a lot, and she can easily upset the first-starters in this. ROSE AYE REIGN (7) will give the powerful Marsh stable a strong hand in this, and her tune-up trials have been good. She is not out of this. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imperial Rose each way.
