BAYLEYS & ELIZABETH TOWERS 1600m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a genuine tempo with Our Solana setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by El Zoro. ANDAHAR (1) has been racing well since winning his maiden fresh at Ruakaka in early January, and he really hit the line hard when finishing runner-up as the favourite by less than a length at Otaki 3 weeks ago. Follow your money here. On top. LERADO (4) has not had many favours this prep, and his modest form is not a reflection on how he has been racing. With the right run, he can win this race. CEASE AND DESIST (7) was back in form when finishing third at Matamata 2 weeks ago. He is still at the improving stage of his career and is nicely drawn for this assignment. Each way. BEYOND ME (6) lifted late to score a tough win at Waipukurau nearly 4 weeks ago. His draw is not so good this time, but he has the scope to run another good race. Include in all top 4 combos to be safe. EL ZORO (3) has won on this track in the past, and usually needs a run. Check the market moves. MADAME KIWI (12) was a big maiden winner at Hawera 15 days ago, and she should measure up in this as well. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lerado each way.
