GOING: S(5)

NZB KIWI PREVIEW EVENING 6/3 1400m

Track: SOFT     Out 9m  

The race pace in this Maiden event over 1400m looks strong from barrier rise. SCHMOOZE (2) was luckless fresh up when deadset punted. Will be well backed again for certain. He is drawn to score and looks the winner here whatever way you approach this race. DISTINGUISHED (1) has been an on-pacer of late. Can counter his wide gate very quickly. He is best so far on decent footing. BANNEN (3) can go one better here after a good debut for a close-up second. He was trialling superbly three times beforehand. Must include him everywhere you can in this field. SABRINA HALL (8) showed good improvement at her last start. Definitely bred to win multiple times. FREE BIRD (10) led up on debt and ran a fair third. Drawn well again so is a definite chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Schmooze is a win wager.
