|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pressure from Zanzibar, Mckhan and Just Charlie battling for the lead over Summer Breeze. KNOCK OFF (4) has returned in superb order and made it 2 wins from 3 starts this prep when scoring by half a length at Otaki 5 weeks ago. He has been kept ticking over with a trial in the meantime, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he can repeat the dose. ZANZIBAR (5) has been in strong form over the winter months and will have no problem if the expected rain arrives for the weekend. Hard to beat again. MCKHAN (2) led up and then folded in a strong field at New Plymouth 2 weeks ago. He was worked up before the start that day, and will be a much better proposition this time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. WHEELITIN (6) motored home late out wide to finish third at New Plymouth 2 weeks ago. The wetter the better for this mare, and she usually holds her form when fit. Include in all combos. DANJURO (9) at each-way value SUGGESTED PLAY: Knock Off will be hard to beat again. Include 2-5-6-9-10.
