CARTERS ASHHURST-POHANGINA CUP 2140m

Track: AW     True  

The race pace looks solid here for large swathes of this two-turn event over 2140m. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (1) he has had three runs here for two wins. Premiership leading senior rider atop in this. Win chance for sure in this line-up. SIR MIKKI (2) won well here at his last start. He can handle the 2kg extra in this field against the same grade. Top tier must for your multiples. BOURBON FALLS (6) can improve on his course placing last start. Senior rider atop. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. TRAMORE (7) she has a very good course record. Wide gate. The mare is a trifecta and first four must in this line up. JUST CHARLIE (4) was poor at his last start but ran well prior fresh up. Winning rider atop. Won here Maiden third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Platinum Sixty Six and Sir Mikki are win wagers.
