GOING: G(4)

NZ FOREST WORKS R60 2050M 2050m

Track: GOOD4     Out 2.5m From 1050m to 400m, Remainder True  

Lack of early pace and expect a moderate tempo at best. TAKE ON (1) battled on gamely for sixth as the favourite last time out at Riccarton over 2600m 4 weeks ago. He has winning form on this track and will be at his peak fitness fourth up from a spell. He drops in class, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he is the one to beat, so follow your money. WALKINTHEPARK (4) raced close to the pace at Whanganui last time out but failed to finish the race off as expected, finishing eighth. He is down in class and should now be ready to show something. RITHIM (8) needed the run second up and will have Bruno Queiroz in the saddle for the first time here. She will be peaking third up from a spell, and a form reversal is expected. Each way value. REDANA (5) does not have the best record here, but this field is not strong, and her exposed form is good enough to she her figure in the top 4. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Take On can win this.
