GOING: F

HERMAN'S HERMITS 2 AUGUST CHRISTCHURCH RATING 60 2200m

Track: FAST     True  

High Pins should lead and dictate terms. CHASE 'N' GOLD (4) is drawn well and has been course placed. He is racing well enough of late and the gelding is a win chance here without a doubt. MATETSI (1) he is a course proven runner. Chance here for sure to pay a dividend. EXTREME POWER (2) has been course proven before. Drawn better here and is an obvious multiples chance in this. OUR KIWI GIRL (8) is a course proven runner. She is a partial class dropper here as well. Drawn the ace today. Definite threat in this particular lineup. TAP DANCER (11) she is drawn out here. Partial class dropper in this field too. Produced a very good run here two starts ago. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Kiwi Gal is an each-way chance in this line up.
