SMITH AG 1600m Track: HEAVY 10 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo set by Tukituki and The Finnster. SACRED ZED (7) got back too far on a slow pace and battled on late for fifth as a hit favourite in an amateur riders' race at Whanganui nearly 6 weeks ago. He is perfectly placed in this BM60 contest, third up from a spell, and he should be among the hardest to beat. PERFECT PETE (5) has found it hard to win another race, but he will notice the dip in class here. His third at Whanganui 6-days ago was his best run this prep, and even from a wide gate, he can take this out. DON'S LEGACY (3) will be close to peak fitness third up, and the step up to 1600m is ideal. He benefits from a 2kg claim, and he would not surprise us if he wins this. THE FINNSTER (1) ran along boldly in front prior to blowing out of condition fresh up at Otaki. He may try to steal this. Include in all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Pete and Don's Legacy at each-way value here.
