GOING: G(4)

BAYLEYS MOUNT MAUNGANUI 1300m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Solid tempo anticipated with Herbert leading the way. YOU SAY D'ORSAY (9) ended his last campaign as the favourite in the G3 Easter Handicap, where he was close up in fifth place. He comes to hand quickly and has been tuned up with a recent trial in strong company. Hard to beat. MOSINVADER (12) has found it hard to win another race and has needed time to mature. He has put in some good performances against similar fields to this, and if he doesn't need the run, he can figure in the top 3. WILD NIGHT (2) is a very capable gelding on his day, and he ran on stylishly late fresh up at Taupo just over 3 weeks ago. His second-up record is superior, and with Opie Bosson in the saddle, he will be hard to hold out. GLAMOUR TYCOON (4) fought on gamely to hold onto third at Arawa Park in the G3 Sweynesse Stakes last time out. She is peaking at the right time and has also won her only start on this circuit, which is an advantage as well. Each way. DUSTY ROAD (3) can mix his form, but on this track, he should not be risked. Include in all multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wild Wild Night each way.
