|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo with Poetic Champion and High Elation leading the way. VELOCIOUS (7) scored by 1.3 lengths when resuming last start at Te Aroha over 1150m after she was a fair way off the leaders on the home turn. Course winner. G1 winner. Looks the winner in this G3 field. POETIC CHAMPION (1) looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Racing well for a while prior too. Top tier must no matter the footing on offer. ARDALIO (8) was a trial second earlier this month. Well drawn. Has won on dry and wet ground. BOSS 'N' HIGHHEELS (12) was a good win at her last start here. Multiple class riser. She can cope in this drawn well. ARCHAIC SMILE (9) was game in defeat at her last start. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Velocious is a win wager.
