|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Holdem, Ripicola and Sarissa leading the way. HOLDEM (8) is ready to peak now after two runs in this campaign and an ideal gate helps. On pacer as well. Win chance in this field. MONTERO (3) drawn wide but he can cope. Won his latest trial. Chance here for a new stable and the tote will be very telling. RIPICOLA (7) has run well in three of four starts. Trial winner here prior. No doubt a trifecta and first four chance in this. SARISSA (10) won a trial easily at Riccarton Park over 1000m on March 24. She is bred to win multiple times. Chance here fresh up and the tote will be telling. RADIANT LASS (5) runs for a new stable fresh up. Sly one in this for certain. SUGGESTED PLAY: Holdem and Sarissa are win wagers.
