GOING: S(7)

ASHBURTON RACING CLUB COMMITTEE 2200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5.5m from the 1400m to 400m, Then cutaway from 400 to finish at 3m  

Good pressure from the outset with California Gold, Roca Mile and Eulogy Show taking up the running over Matetsi and Declare. POMANDER (5) is a course winner. Drawn wide but she can cope in this particular line up. Win chance here for absolute certain. ROCA MILE (2) won his Maiden here. He is undoubtedly a quinella and trifecta chance in this field. CALIFORNIA GOLD (1) has been consistent for a while now. He can handle a wide gate here and is not out of this for all of your combinations. BUGATTI (6) has a wide draw in this but he is very competitive. Still a trifecta and first four chance here regardless. Possible overs too in this field. MATETSI (11) runs for a new stable now. Chance here for all of your multiples. Tote will tell you one way or the other in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pomander and Roca Mile are win wagers.
