VINTECH PACIFIC POVERTY BAY CUP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 4m  

The race pace here looks strong and the pressure could be on here for large swathes of this Mile. BELLE'S ECHO (3) has been super consistent for ages and in fact has been top three in her last six starts. She has won dry and wet ground too. Hard to see her missing paying a dividend here. SACRED PEARL (4) is a class riser here after two fourths this time in. Has won third up. Super course record here. Include in all your multiple combinations. HACKSAW RIDGE (5) is a multiple class riser. Ace gate. Senior rider atop. Likes wet ground. CHASE (1) is a class dropper here. Course proven. Up 6kg on last start win. Can carry big weights. KICK ON (2) is a double course winner. Class dropper here. Place and first four chance in this for sure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle's Echo and Sacred Pearl are win wagers.
