THE JUNCTION TAVERN 1600m Track: GOOD 4 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Say I Do leading the way. SAY I DO (5) capped off some strong form with an overdue win here last time out. She stays in the same grade, and she can repeat. INCHIGEELAGH LASS (6) has been racing well since winning her maiden by over 5 lengths at Tauherenikau in December. A wet track would help her, and she is rock-hard fit. Each way. JAEGER (8) probably should have won another race by now, but his last start third at Waverley was good enough for a race like this. Include him in all top 4 combos. CHELSEA ROSE (11) has been freshened since an average effort at Waipukurau, and dropping back to 1600m will suit her. Go again. GLIMMER (9) has been heading the right way with her form, and she can take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Say I Do can win this.
