GOING: G(4)

NEW WORLD OTAKI HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

The race pace looks okay here from the outset in this 1200m dash. COOPER (1) is a class dropper. Best draw in a while. Can win this easily. MAN EXPRESS (5) won his Maiden fresh-up last campaign. Top tier chance here after a 4kg claim. POPSAGOOSEY (2) class dropper. Winning rider atop. Has won on dry and wet ground. FONSI (4) drawn the ace gate. Senior rider atop. On pacer. Chance. GURTLYN (10) is a dual winner here. Has won on dry and wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cooper is a win wager.
