RACECOURSE HOTEL & MOTOR LODGE RATING 60 1600m

Track: SYNTHETIC     True  

There looks to be ample pace and pressure here in this big field to end the days racing. THE ARCTIC BLAST (7) is course proven. Each-way all day here. SILVER EAGLE (11) senior rider on. Ready to pay a dividend. DEVIL IN DISGUISE (5) won his Maiden here. Each-way chance. OHIWA SUNSET(10) was a trial third last month so forward to resume. Ace draw. Chance. KOPUTAROA (1) was not too bad fresh up. Wide gate. Has won on dry and wet ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Arctic Blast is a win wager.
