And again!
Third day in a row, winner and a second…
Kermantic (5 units ew) sat patiently just before the pace and swept up for a nice win at $5.80/$2.40, while Devine Miss (5 units ew) ran second at $1.80. Genjiro was prominent in the run, but just ran out of puff to run fourth at big odds.
Nearly 40 tips today, let’s take a look at NZ first, Aussie to follow…
Saturday in NZ
MARENGO
Te Rapa, 3
Impressive dominant win front the front on debut, no reason he can’t go on with it as $4 second fav, especially over the shorter distance, and if he can handle the heavy.
BET: 10 unit win
GOSPODIN, TIGHTLIGN
Te Rapa, 5
Gospodin’s in here last time was superb, has won many times over this distance, heavy stats impressive, $4.80 fav. Tightlign usually a good place bet, but not shown much on heavy, $10 on offer.
BET: G 5 units ew, T 2 units ew, exotics
BADGERINGDAWITNESS
Te Rapa, 6
Good fourth on resuming, needed the run and will only be better. Good on heavy, solid EW shot here at $6.
BET: 5 units ew
INDEEM
Te Rapa, 7
Not really shown much since his last win, may strike a place third up, heavy OK, $10 shot.
BET: 2 units ew
TESTIFY ME, CINDY FALLS
Te Rapa, 8
TM has been in contention in most of his races, no form on wet ground but watch for him late, $4.60 fav. CF was excellent winning on debut, but hasn’t backed that up in two runs. Get back to a wet track and out to the mile may help today as a $16 shot.
BET: TM 5 units ew, CF 2 units ew, exotics
BALALAIKA
Awapuni, 3
Needed resuming run for sixth, place 3/4 on heavy, could get some of it today at $10.
BET: 3 units ew
SEA MONARCH
Awapuni, 6
Not doing enough, interest bet only at $23.
BET: 2 units ew
Flemington & Rosehill
ALTIVO, DAYTONA BAY
Flemington, 6
On the 7 day back-up, won impressively last week and is a horse going places. $1.60 fav, sell the farm… DB solid place bet at $14..

BET: 3 units ew
PINSTRIPED, VISINARI, BERMADEZ
Flemington, 8
Pinstriped finally found his feet (hooves?) last time out with a dominant win, stats good for this and should have too much for these now he’s remembered where the winning post is, $3 fav. Other two have place claims at $9 and $12…
BET: P 190 unit win, other two 3 units ew, exotics
MISS JENNIFER
Flemington, 9
Will need the run as a $34 shot…
BET: 2 units ew
