GOING: H(8)

KATE & DAVE SMYTH 1400m Track: HEAVY 8 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected from Highly Anticipated and Trainwreck. TRAINWRECK (1) has the form on the board, and was only run down late after setting the pace at Whanganui just over 3 weeks ago when finishing runner-up by a short-head. He drops down in class, and can go one better. GOLD CARD (2) has been racing his way into full fitness, and some good form again, finishing second behind a very smart type last time out at Ruakaka. He has a good gate, and can figure in the top 4 again. KORO'S PRINCESS (3) won here on her home track 4 starts back, and has since not had all the favours. She drops back down to that wining BM60 level here, and can make amends. MISTER PUCCI (8) will be backing up from Friday, and he is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mister Pucci each way.
