GOING: H(10)

STEELY STEELY MAKE ME SQUEALY 2100m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Strong tempo from Leprekhan off the inside, joined by Madam Pele and Come To Terms. DRESSE' PAR JOLI (3) lifted strongly when winning by half a length two runs back at Wanganui. She is rock hard fit and is another from the Alan Sharrock stable that will be hard to hold out. KING KHAN (1) has not been running too badly at all so far this time in. He holds his form when fit and has each-way claims again. MISTER PUCCI (2) ran a much better race at Pukekohe 17 days ago over a mile when finishing fourth. He is getting ready for a jumping career and is in the right race this time. He shouldn’t be far away. JAMAICAN BOY (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fifth at New Plymouth Raceway. Stick with him. KEEN ON BUBBLES (4) struggled under her big weight in an amateur riders' race last start at Trentham and was a big winner in this grade at New Plymouth before that. She is worth another chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dresse' Par Joli should be the one to beat, with Keen On Bubbles a chance at longer odds.
