RICCARTON PARK   29 May 2025
 
GOING:

RACECOURSE HOTEL & MOTOR LODGE RATING 75 1600m

Track: AW     True position  

Solid tempo with In Awe leading from Rocmont and Alminette. DIMAGGIO (3) ran quite well last start at second run for a new yard. He was outclassed in the run before in Listed grade. Chance here. GEMMA FLITZ (2) she has been racing super this time in. Five runs here for two wins and three placings. Impossible to leave out anywhere. ALMINETTE (10) the mare has not gone a poor race this time in. Has a very good course record and is a trifecta and first four must. ROCMONT (4) is a course winner. He has run well in four of his last five starts and must be included in all of your multiples. WAR COURT (5) he is racing well this time in. Drawn well in this too. Cannot be omitted here. SUGGESTED PLAY: The possible value chance looks to be Dimaggio.
