HARCOURTS OTAKI RAUKAWA CUP 2100m Track: HEAVY 10 True |

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

The race pace in this Open Handicap over 2100m looks to be nothing out of the ordinary bar a 400m sprint home. KICK ON (1) is a class dropper in this. He has been placed three times on the track. The gelding can find some form again here and include in all of your combinations. BOOMTOWN BOY (5) has been course placed. Ran well two and three starts ago. He has drawn well in this too. PINKERTON (6) was a poor fresh-up effort. Fourth in a trial prior. Multiple class riser. He has won second up. Not out of this all. TRAMORE (10) is better than last start indicates. She ran okay in all three runs prior. Placed four times here and is not the worst in this. RIDE THE TIDE (8) is a multiple-class riser. Drawn well. Many here are better but can still place or make the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kick On can win this on his peak form. Boomtown Boy is the other main threat.
