MANAWATU MINI SPREADERS 1700m Track: SYNTHETIC True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Leanach Lad has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LEANACH LAD (1) showed pace to lead at Hawera last time out, and he did well to hold on for fourth after racing greenly throughout the running that day. He can take up the lead again here from the pole position, and this time, he can take them all the way. AFTERTHOUGHT (2) has been showing pace, but weakening quickly in his last couple of starts on the turf. Maybe the poly surface can help bring the best out of him. Roughie. LALUME (6) was unsuited to the good track at Tauherenikau 4 weeks ago, and she is bred to relish getting up over more ground. Her trial form earlier in the year was good, and she can make amends in this. STREET APPEAL (4) will be peaking third up, and the extra 300m will suit her. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leanagh Lad each way.
