GOING: H(10)

NORTH WAIKATO LAW 1300m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 10.5m  

Keen exchange with Oppenheimer and Super Dailo pressing hard while Did The Trick also kicks up. AKENEHI (12) obvious improver on her fresh up fourth. She is a definite second-up threat having never missed the top three in this state. Win chance in this. INCA BELLE (10) has drawn out once more. The mare has been placed in both of her course runs. Quinella and trifecta must in this. CHARMER (8) good improvement last start when second up to finish runner up. Trifecta and first four chance. SABIK (3) was a close up third when resuming. He won his Maiden when second up. Wet tracker. OPPENHEIMER (6) ran a best effort last start this time in when a close-up fourth. Lost his rider the run before. Has been course placed. Not out of this wide draw and all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Akenehi is the one to beat in this field.
