GOING: S

THE TELE OTAKI HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT     True  

Expecting Jack Morrison to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. SINDEE (8) has run well so far this time in and has won on dry and wet ground too. Win chance in this field for certain third up. BELLADONNA LILY (10) is a dual winner fresh up. Placed in both of her runs right here. Drawn to be a must include in all of your multiples. SIR STERLING (5) has been course placed before. Include everywhere no matter the footing on offer today. SINBIN (12) was a good run fresh up. Wide draw here but still a trifecta and first four chance in this. DISCOVERY BAY (11) has had three runs here for a win and two placings. Handles all types of footing and is impossible to leave out of any combination. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sindee and Belladonna Lily are win wagers.
