GOING: H(10)

SKYCITY HAMILTON MILE 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Good pace with Saint Bathans, Mister Roquette and Harlech prominent. UDERZO (2) deadset bolted in at last start here and only up 2kg in this so thrown in. Led up last time so has more strings to his racing style nowadays. Looks a moral here. SAINT BATHANS (4) close up at last start when resuming. Proven second up. Must for your quinella and trifecta combinations. KNIGHTS REALM (5) he has been racing super in last four starts. Course proven. Looks very well suited here down to 54kg. CHANNEL SURFER (7) gets a winning rider atop here. Has won on the track and include him in all of your multiples. HARLECH (1) has run super for a while now. He has drawn well and is a course winner. A 4kg claim helps him no end. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uderzo looks to be a weight special here.
