GOING: G(4)

THE TELE OTAKI HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     True  

The race pace in this the final event of the meeting looks not too bad at all over 1400m. GOHUGO (1) has been very consistent. Wide draw but overdue a second win. Main threat no matter the footing. HEMI RIDAPEST (2) partial class riser. Better barrier and drops half a kilo. Include everywhere. PLATINUM SIXTY SIX (3) course placed. Each-way on dry or wet ground. LA BELLA GRANDE (8) fresh up here. Trial second earlier this month. Can cope on dry and wet footing. WHATANIGHT (5) was not too bad fresh up. Chance here second up no matter the footing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gohugo is a win wager.
