THE PUKEMANU BAR & THE BOTTLE'O MARTINBOROUGH 2050m Track: Good 4 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Hey Hey Hey, Relentless and Prince Turbo the ones to roll forward. CONEY ISLAND (1) raced his way into form when on late for second at Whanganui 15 days ago. That placing has been a long time coming, and now with his confidence back, along with added fitness, he will be hard to hold out. RELENTLESS (3) is a talented 3YO gelding who resumed in a lot stronger field at Ellerslie nearly a month ago, and needed the hit-out, peaking late before weakening out of it. The extra 450m is ideal, and he is expected to finish a lot closer this time. ZACKERY (5) has been battling for some time, but the key this time will be the good track, which he handles better than most in this modest field. A form reversal is on the cards. CRY BABY (10) is not the worst at blowout odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zackery each way.
