GOING: H(10)

NEW ZEALAND BLOODSTOCK WARSTEP STAKES 2000m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 5m to the 1000m, Remainder Out 8m  

There is good pace and pressure forecast in this 3yo filly event around two-turns for the majority of this 2000m event. DREAM OF THE MOON (1) has been going very well this campaign, scoring last start over 1600m at Listed level at this track to make it two wins from three runs this time in. G2 and G3 placed. Massive chance to win this. CONNELLO (2) was a good second at last start behind the top pick. Proven on dry and wet. Quinella and trifecta must in this field. MILLIE GRAZIE (6) she has not gone a poor race. Wide draw. Trifecta and first four must in this field. DONNA CHIARA (5) she has been twice placed here. Can handle dry and wet footing. Well drawn this time. Include everywhere. PICCOLINO (7) was fourth in a trial since a last start honest seventh at G1. Wide draw. Trifecta and first four must. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dream Of The Moon and Connello are win wagers.
