ROTORUA ITM STAKES 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Bedtime Story and Electric Time to set a strong tempo, joined by Fonteyn looking to cross. TOMODACHI (10) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a head, over 1200m at Trentham. Racing super this time in and should be unbeaten this campaign. Wide gate. Win chance no matter the footing. MAROTIRI MOLLY (1) was a good close-up run resuming. Has won second up. Multiples must in this field for certain. BEDTIME STORY (8) she has raced well for ages. She can cope on dry and wet footing. In the multiples mix for sure. LUX LIBERTAS (5) she has been G2 placed before. Place and first four chance at possible overs in this. KARMAN LINE (3) is racing well. Drawn super. Rider atop has won on her. Course proven. Ticks many boxes in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tomodachi and Marotiri Molly are win wagers.
