Otaki Racecourse

NORTHEASTERLY came on to finish midfield last start at Te Aroha when fresh and placed at Pukekohe Park in only second-up attempt, a winning chance. LETS ALL BOOGIE has two placings from three runs this prep and placed in two of three at Otaki before, don't dismiss. GEE FORCE finished half a length back from the leader last start at Trentham and up in trip, looks threatening. SOL DE OTONO faded to finish eighth last start at Trentham when fresh and up in distance, don't dismiss.

THE PROPHET won last start at Trentham and has run well in these conditions, big chance. OUR DAYMO let-up and in strong form with two wins from five attempts this campaign, don't treat lightly. UTOPIAN WINE won last start at Trentham and faces a rise in distance, not the worst. YELLOW JERSEY in strong form with two wins from seven attempts this campaign and placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Trentham, place hope.

Minimal pace engaged. ONLY THE LONELY yet to miss the placegetters in three runs and amongst the placegetters last start running third at Trentham, key chance. DAMIANO finished a length back from the leader last start at Tauherenikau and should run fitter for past attempts, still in this. MONOLOGUE on debut, place claims. EIZUS on debut, place chance.
