RIVERTON BUTCHERY APARIMA HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HEAVY     True  

Monaghan Boy and Riviera Rebel should set a strong tempo. KING OF THE CASTLE (2) has had two runs here for a win and a place. A 4kg claim here is the real key for bettors. Can score in this today. THE GOOD SHEPHERD (1) is a course winner. Has won on dry and wet conditions too. Quinella and trifecta must in this for bettors. RIVIERA REBEL (4) was a good win his last start. Wet tracker. Has won three of four runs here on the track. 4yo with many more wins to come. ROCHELLO (13) has been racing well of late. Wet tracker overall. Place and first four chance in this. CHARBANO (6) he resumes here. Course winner. Has won on dry and wet ground. Sly one so check the tote quote. SUGGESTED PLAY: Riviera Rebel is a win wager.
