AWAPUNI SYNTHETIC   22 Jun 2025
 
GOING: H(10)

KELLYS PLUMBING 1700m

Track: Heavy 10     True position  

Pace strong with Oceans Roar and Ruji leading with The Republican nearby. CUBA STREET (1) has gone well in his last two runs right here. He has drawn wide here but can still definitely win this. THE REPUBLICAN (2) last start placing on the flat was his first show of form for a new stable. Won a Hurdle trial recent so he is uber-fit. Definite chance in this line up. RUJI (3) he too has run well enough in last two starts here. Drawn well. Chance to place or be first four. CRAFTSMAN (6) is a definite improver on his fresh up effort. He is strong enough now to pay a first dividend. JIM DANDY (7) is s three-year-old gelding (Embellish - Vinstock) on debut. Has had five trials for three placings and a fourth. Dam has left Northern Raider (2 wins). Drawn wide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cuba Street looks the logical winner. The Republican after a Hurdle trial win recently is very fit and poses a threat.
