AWAPUNI SYNTHETIC   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

BJW MOTORS 2022 LTD 1400m

Track: AW     True  

Hot tempo expected with Shiatsu, Mister Fletcher and Charlotte's Way heading the charge. DOUBTFUL SOUND (1) has won twice here. He is a partial class dropper in this. On pacer. Win chance for sure. GOHUGO (2) has drawn out here but he has been placed in both of his course runs. Quinella and trifecta must in this particular field. SHIATSU (8) won her debut after leading throughout. Drawn out here but it may not actually matter. She can remain unbeaten. LANTERN WAY (3) this is his first raceday run on the Synthetic. He won both of his trials here earlier in career so can certainly cop the footing. Include the 4yo everywhere in this for sure. VICTORTHEINFLICTOR (7) he is a partial class dropper here. Cannot be omitted. Trifecta and first four chance in this line up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doubtful Sound loves the Synthetic and is an obvious win chance here. Shiatsu led and bolted in at debut on the Cambridge Synthetic. She can remain unbeaten now on the Awapuni Synthetic.
