TAB RAUKAWA CUP 2100m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 5m  

The race pace here in this two-turn event over 2100m looks okay in the main and some surprise attacks may well come too. FAR SITE (4) has been not too bad at all in her last three runs. She has won two of her four course starts. Better barrier today. Loves wet ground too. Each-way all day in this line-up. PERFECT TEST (6) has won two of three runs this time in. Class riser. Wide gate. Drops 2.5kg. Must include here as she can swim. KAHU ROCK (1) is a gradual improver. Course proven. On pacer. Cannot be omitted from any of your combinations. NEVER LOOK BACK (2) is a course-proven gelding. Wide gate here. A 4kg claim helps his cause no end. Include everywhere you can. WENEEDASHOCK (5) he has won second up before. Course proven too. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Far Site and Never Look Back are win wagers.
