AUSTRALIAN TURF CLUB AUTUMN SPRINT FINAL 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 6m  

A solid tempo on the cards with Metaverse leading the way. HOKITIKA BELL(9) is a class riser resuming here. The mare can handle all types of footing and can win this for sure. SUMOSAURUS (4) has been twice placed here before. Drawn wide in this field. Quinella and trifecta must still here. LANTERN WAY (6) showed good improvement at his last start. Has won and placed when third up. Chance here for all of your multiples combinations. FANCYPANTS (8) is fresh up here. Proven in this state. Best as a wet tracker. Impossible to omit if the footing is Slow or Heavy as expected in this. METAVERSE (7) she has raced well in five of her last six starts. She has won on dry and wet ground. On pacer. Chance here undoubtedly in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sumosaurus and Lantern Way are win wagers.
