GOING: H

NZB MEGA MAIDEN SERIES 1200m

Track: HEAVY     True  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. FLUTTERBELLE (15) finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Hawera. Win chance if she is run here. Wide gate. Wet tracker overall. TIMETOPLAYTHEGAME (2) is a Maiden galloper resuming from a spell after finishing tenth over 1300m at Cambridge Synthetic at the latest appearance on June 26. Trial winner earlier this month. Chance here drawn well. LIECHTENSTEIN (12) is a three-year-old filly (Swiss Ace - Anna Of Austria). Three trials for a win, a third and a fourth. Dam has left three multiple winning foals with Canny Impact (4 wins) and Viva Vienna (4 wins) the most prolific. Chance from the ace. OUR BEAU (6) is an improver on fresh up run. Trifecta place and first four chance. THE PERFECT ONE (7) is a Glen Old trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Recent trial winner at Taupo. Trained on the course. Dam has left two individual winners. SUGGESTED PLAY: Liechtenstein is a win wager.
