GRANT PLUMBING 30TH ANNIVERSARY 1500m Track: HEAVY 10 Out 6m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. BELLE TRIBUTE (4) has built up a good record in a short career, and she was a narrow winner of her last run in a similar field at New Plymouth a fortnight ago over 1400m. She only rises 2kg kilos for her peak run third up, and if the heavy track is loose, then she is the one to beat again. BENEFACTOR (6) has needed all of her 3 runs back from a spell, and she will notice the drop down from stakes company here. She will be hoping not to settle too far back from her perfect inside draw, and if the gaps come at the right time, she can figure in the top 3 at value. KOPUA (8) is another quality veteran who has also needed all of his 4 runs back from a spell. He has not won for some time, but he can never be taken lightly in fields such as this one. Include. ENRICO (1) loves it here, and he loves bad ground. He was third fresh up, and if he doesn't need this run as well, then he can take this out. CHASE (2) is a very good veteran when fit, and his heavy track stats here are strong. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle Tribute can win, but don't risk Enrico.
