EL ROCA - SIR COLIN MEADS TROPHY 1200m Track: GOOD True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The race pace in this Listed 3yo event over 1200m looks good. POETIC CHAMPION (4) was a trial winner last month so is ready to resume. Has won fresh up. Ace draw. He can be part of a big day for this yard. SAVAGLEE (2) a Group 3 winner. Is a speedy colt who was an easy winner first up at Taupo. Rider atop is unbeaten on him. Obvious threat. MOVE TO STRIKE (1) is a multiple class dropper resuming. Placed in both his trials so forward enough to resume. Proven on dry and wet. G1 Manawatu Sires Produce winner. Quality matter so cannot be omitted. SUPER PHOTON (3) was a sound second resuming but the winner (a rival again) was too good. Has won second up. Include. FULL FORCE (5) is a class dropper here. Should be better this time and left-handed will suit. Possible overs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Poetic Champion is a win wager. Box the quinella as a saver of it, Savaglee and Move To Strike.
