GOING: H(10)

THE ROTORUA CLUB 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Plenty of pace from Did The Trick, Delorean and Innocent Victim vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. DID THE TRICK (1) was a good run at his last start. Proven third up as well. Each-way all day in this field for certain. SENSE OF TIMING (2) has not gone a bad race this time in. Course winner. Chance after 4kg claim in this line up. RICHIE'S DREAM (9) she resumes here. Trial winner last month so is forward enough for sure. Chance here wide draw and all. Tote will tell you with this 4yo mare so be tote alert. WHISKEY N' RYE (15) ran okay fresh up. Wide draw. Course winner and can feature here. ANAROA (5) was not too bad a run fresh up. Has won second up before. Drawn wide. Has won on dry and wet ground too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Did The Trick is a win wager.
