GOING: H(10)

OTAUTAU FARMLANDS / UNCLE BUCKS SECOND HAND SHOP HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY     Out 4m  

The race pace is not too bad here in this 1400m event. PHELAN THE POWER (1) he can win this after a 4kg claim. G3 placed and is a Listed winner. He may in fact be too good for this field. THE HANGOVER (3) is a quinella and trifecta chance here after a 3kg claim. Best on wet ground. MEDINA (6) is a class riser but still a major threat here on dry or wet ground. She has most of these covered anyway. CLASSIC DIVA (5) she is a multiple-class dropper here so include her everywhere. Already a triple course winner. Wet tracker. MININJAGIRL (12) she has been racing well enough this time in. Class riser here. Not out of this at all for a place or the first four in your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Phelan The Power and Medina are win wagers.
