GOING: S(5)

HORIZON BY SKYCITY 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     Out 8m  

Slick pace with Goldiluxe finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. GOLDILUXE (5) is a win chance here. Has been course placed. She can handle it dry and wet and ticks boxes galore for bettors. STARRY EYED (6) was a good fourth at her last start. Chance here drawn well in this for all of your multiples. CAST OF DIAMONDS (3) is a partial class dropper in this. He can handle dry and wet ground and has a winning rider atop in this. Definite chance for all of your combinations. HOT SALSA (4) has drawn out in this field. He is a partial class dropper in this. Rider change today can help. Trifecta and first four chance. WHAT A YARN (2) has not run a bad race this time in. Winning rider atop. Chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Goldiluxe and Cast Of Diamonds are win wagers.
