Verdict

NIGHT WOLF (3) certainly deserves a winning turn after some good form, including his last start second at Ellerslie just over 2 weeks ago. He tries a mile again, and he is fit enough to cope with a heavy track, so stick with him on top. MODELO (7) put in a big run for second in her penultimate start at Ellerslie and then ran on too late at Pukekohe 12 days ago. He will be launching late again in this, and this time, he can have the last say. DEL INQUENT (1) won a trial before finishing a game third fresh at Ellerslie just over a fortnight ago, and he has shown enough in his short career to say he can win a race like this. BEAU MILLER (2) did not have all the favours fresh up at Arawa Park 3 weeks ago over 7f. The extra 1f is the key, and he has top 3 claims this time. G'DAY GOLDIE (13) ran her best race yet when storming into second at Pukekohe 12 days ago. She has a superior draw this time, and there is no reason why she can't go one better in this.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Exercise Rider

A rider built much like a jockey but is employed for exercising and working out horses in the morning.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.
