WWW.PLATINUMHOMES.CO.NZ 1800m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 7m  

Plenty of pace with The Finnster and Overrated leading from Fulla Grace. NANCY SHE WROTE (3) turned in a bold effort when finishing on strongly for second at Te Aroha last time out and with an even better record racing in this direction, she looks capable of adding another deserved win to her record. FLORIN (4) resumed with an encouraging performance over 1150m at Te Aroha, making good late ground to finish a game fourth after settling back in the field. The rise in distance appears ideal and she is expected to figure in the top 3 this time. YOLO (2) returns from an 8 -month spell and even though she is getting ready for the jumps, she is still capable of running into the top 4 on the flat while fresh. OVERDRAFT (5) attracted plenty of support when resuming but failed to fire over 2100m at Hawera. He has had a jumping trial since then and he will only improve with racing. Stick with him on an each-way basis. DEE VEE PEE (6) needed the run when resuming and he will appreciate the extra 200m, so don't drop him yet. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nancy She Wrote can win this.
