GOING: H(8)

SPORTZ BAR REMEMBERING NATHAN CAIRD "NATE MATE? 1600m

Track: HVY8     Out 4m  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Leprekhan, Cotton Roca and Glimmer leading the charge. JAEGER (2)has been edging towards another win since resuming from a freshen up early last month. He will relish a wet track after racing on a good track over 1600m here 12 days ago, where he finished a head away in second, and on a likely softer track this time, he can go one better. SPEEDIE O'REILLY (3) lifted late to score his maiden win by a nose at Waipukurau in his penultimate start, and he then battled away for sixth here 5 weeks ago. He is still maturing, and with a cosy run early on, he can figure in the top 4 here. GLIMMER (4) set the pace and only weakened late here 12 days ago, and she seems better when ridden just off the pace. She will be looking for some cover here from a wide gate, and she is well worth including in all top 4 combos. COTTON ROCA (7) cannot ne underestimated. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jaeger to win.
