NZ - Matamata - Race 1

PRE NUP (8) was sent out as a hot favourite on debut off the back of some impressive trial form, and she ruined her chances by racing greenly throughout the race. She will be over those issues with that experience under her belt and is expected to make amends here. Follow your money. ONE BOLD FLOOZIE (1) finished sixth as the favourite at Tauranga last time out on a track that was too firm for her. She maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position, and she is worth another chance, especially on a wet surface. Stick with her. IRISH FLUTE (6) needed the run fresh up on a poorly prepared heavy track at Hastings just over 3 weeks ago. She will relish the extra 1f and is expected to finish a lot closer this time. Include. PINE LEAF (7) cops another wide gate after failing to fire from a similar draw at Te Rapa 15 days ago. She is better than that and is worth including in all top 4 combs. PLAYINASANDPIT (2) resumes from a spell, and she is likely to be running on late.
