GOOD LUCK TEAM WANGANUI AT HALBERG GAMES 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

Solid tempo with El Jaycee leading from Hot Mama and Tivaci's Affair. MOON ROCKET (1) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck after being in contention on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to be right there at the finish. URASKYFULLASTARS (3) she has ability and can break through here on best form. Drawn out but still a multiples must in this line-up. FREE BEE (10) she is course proven. Last three runs have all been good. Cannot be omitted here. TIVACI'S AFFAIR (2) won her only start here. Drawn well. Has won on dry and wet footing. HOT MAMA (7) is a class riser here after an easy win. Trial second since she cleared Maidens. Can cope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moon Rocket is a win wager.
