\n

As the name would suggest, <\/span>there\u2019s<\/span> been plenty of Turn N Burn (8) from the Craig Ferguson trained pacer in trials and workouts leading into today\u2019s debut. Looks a <\/span>pretty sharp<\/span> horse in the making and on everything <\/span>we\u2019ve<\/span> seen<\/span> and the times run can <\/span>definitely win<\/span> on debut. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Just OK at Winton on Sunday, but The Bricklayer (12) is a <\/span>pretty handy<\/span> horse. Has done a super job in a short career and with that run under the belt can improve sharply and be good enough to win this <\/span>wide open<\/span> pacing affair. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

The quality trotter of this line up, Becky\u2019s Girl (5) is a horse with a big future. <\/span>We\u2019ve<\/span> seen glimpses of it against some of the best of her age up at Addington and if she is to bring that kind of form here <\/span>today<\/span> she looks one of the strongest winning chances of the day. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

A <\/span>really nice<\/span> return to form last week from <\/span>Zarlini<\/span> (9) at Addington. She flew home behind both Eun <\/span>Sogno<\/span> and The Queen\u2019s Gambit who are strong hopes in other races today. Draw looks <\/span>niggly, but<\/span> might work out OK and with a cold shot will be too fast for them. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Looks to have all the makings of <\/span>a very nice<\/span> horse in six <\/span>months time<\/span>, but the version of Transonic (12) now is <\/span>pretty good<\/span> too. Big win at Winton last week and if he can get rolling at the right time today and get onto the speed then he might just outclass them. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A mistake at <\/span>Orari<\/span> put pay to any chances B D Hall (2) had there but the first up run at Oamaru was excellent. A trotter with a bit of potential and if he <\/span>was<\/span> to do everything right today then he might just leave them chasing a shadow. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Tried valiantly last week at Addington behind Eun <\/span>Sogno<\/span> did The Queens Gambit (11) and back against her own sex her today <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> got a chance to dominate. A wonderful staying filly, <\/span>she\u2019ll<\/span> likely work<\/span> mid-race but up outside the leader turning for home looks ideal for her today. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
