AUCKLAND CO-OP TAXIS 2100m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong pace on the cards with Cheerful Smile, Beau Ondago and True Story likely to roll along early. INVESTIGATE (2) is a gradual improver on his last start effort. Has been course placed before. Win chance here at his best. HAYATE (6) was narrow in defeat at her last start. In a very suitable race here. Must include the mare everywhere. HE'S CLASSIC (1) is a partial class dropper in this line-up. Won his Maiden here. Each-way no matter the footing on offer. BRIAN LAMONT (5) was not too bad a run fresh up and he has won second up before. Eleven runs here and yet to pay a dividend is the real worry. POETIC JUSTICE (4) is still a Maiden and has been disappointing in his last two starts. Riding change is a plus here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Investigate and He's Classic are win wagers.
