GOING: H(10)

THE TELE OTAKI HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

There is decent pace and pressure in this final field of the days meeting. ARCADIAN IYNX (2) has been getting better with each run this time in. Drawn the ace barrier here and has been course placed before. Win chance. FLYING CELEBRATION (6) resumes in this field for a new yard. Won a trial late last month. Drawn out here but still a chance. Include her everywhere. HELLUVAH RETURN (7) has gone well in two of four runs this campaign. She is a dual-course winner already and cannot be omitted in this. JESTIN CASE (8) has drawn well in this field. The mare is a course winner and is a chance for all of your multiples. TEXTBOOK (1) he is a class dropper here and a course winner. Likely to be overs in this lineup. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arcadian Iynx looks the logical winner of this final event. Flying Celebration is the sly one here for a new yard.
