MATAMATA FUNCTION CENTRE 1600m Track: HEAVY 10 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Afterglo. TREGOR (3) ran a good race at his last start over 1300m. Suited by the rise to a Mile here. Ready to win for sure. AFTERGLO (7) she is suited here back left-handed. Won and placed here in first two starts. Quinella and trifecta chance here without a doubt. JAFFIRA (1) is a class dropper here and is at home too. Twice a course winner already. Threat here no matter what the footing that is posted comes up. PROUDTOBEHERE (13) was poor at her last start when just out of Maidens, which she won here prior. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tregor is the one to beat. Jaffira looks the big threat at home and down in grade.
