GOING: H(10)

CONRAD HEADLAND TREMAINS 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 10m  

Moderate tempo with Eddie's Dream leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. JAFFIRA (1) was a sound third at his last start. Has won twice on the track. He is greatly helped by a 4kg claim today. One to beat in this on dry or wet footing importantly. RUACH (2) has a very good course record. He is a quinella and trifecta must in this field. ROSETOWN PRINCESS (4) she is course proven. The mare has been not far away at all lately. Course winner. Include her everywhere no matter the footing on offer in this. TARZADOR (9) she gets a winning rider atop here. Clockwise suits her as well. Since her Maiden win has run well twice and poorly twice. TE ATATU MEMPHIS (12) was a modest run fresh up. Twice placed here. Sly one. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaffira is the expected winner of this.
