SIR PATRICK HOGAN KARAPIRO CLASSIC QUALIFIER 1600m

Track: SOFT     Out 9m  

The race pace in this Maiden Mile field looks strong for the majority of the event. BERTIE WOOSTER (3) he has run well in three of his four starts so far. Well drawn today. Handles it dry and wet and can win this for sure. LAST SOUVENIR (1) twice placed and he has not gone a bad race in his four starts so far. Easier here than last start and must include everywhere. STAPHEE (4) showed a big improvement at his last start and almost won. Ace gate. Strong chance here. CHINOOK (2) has been four times placed and one of those came on the course here. Wide draw. Trifecta and first four hope in this. URLAR (8) has been placed in three of her twelve starts. Drawn out here but still include in all of your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bertie Wooster and Last Souvenir are win wagers.
