3 Son Of Doc <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Off the back of a couple of strong trial and workout performances, Son Of Doc (3) resumed in style with a strong finish at Motukarara a fortnight ago. Has always looked a horse with a bit of a future and should be quitting the maiden grade at short notice. Lands in here nicely and is the horse to beat.

Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Two really strong runs since resuming from a spell by Moonlite CC (2) – both in pretty handy maiden fields. A little easier here perhaps and with fitness at a peak, whereas some rivals are first up, gets a strong chance to roll to the top early and not look back. One of the better bets of the day.

Big runs in the past two from Father Mike (2) indicate he\u2019s closing in on another win. Checked at the wrong time at Motukarara which cost him victory and then blew the start before a big recovery for fourth and Oamaru. Needs to step, but handle that and he\u2019s well in play in the big wide open field.

A strong run of efforts recently from Semba (2) and often in good fields have the Stonewall Stud product knocking on the door of success. Finds a nice race today with some talented rivals but a good draw plays right into the hands and if able to step and perhaps find the trail then becomes the horse to beat.

15 Wilma\u2019s Boy <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

No doubt that Wilma\u2019s Boy (15) is the best horse in this race. But the manners are often a little questionable. First up from a spell today but no worries in that regard with Paul Nairn always having his runners ready to go. Just needs to find his rhythm and he\u2019ll be away here and likely too good for them.

No match for the class of Eun Sogno and Sonofamistery at Addington last time but Always A Menace (9) faces a nice wee drop down in grade here. Prior form to the last run had been excellent and as a former grass track winner looks well placed even from the wide draw. Should be right in the hunt.
