GOING: S(6)

THE PAVILION SPORTS BAR OPEN 2000m

Track: SOFT 6     True  

He's A Doozy and Mckhan to stride forward and take up the running. MONOLOGUE (6) had plenty of support fresh up at Ellerslie, and made the most of a masterful ride from a wide gate, when making his run along the rails from well back in the field to score comfortably by half a length. She has always promised a lot, and this season, she can race right through to the best company. EXIT LEFT (7) is a progressive local gelding who lifted late to score by a head here 2 weeks ago. He is up in class, but will drop 6.5kg, so stick with him, as he has the scope to repeat the dose. DUBAI'S POTIKI (5) has been kept busy this season, and made up a lot of late ground wide out a week ago when finishing second in the G3 Metric Mile at Trentham. The extra 400m is ideal, and he can go one better here. FLY MY WEY (3) has been in great form over the winter, and he is still capable on better surfaces. He only went down by a short-head at Ellerslie last week, and another honest effort is expected in this. PSYCLONE (10) strips fitter second up, so keep her safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monologue can win again.
