Pukekohe Race 1 - TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ 1200
INCANDESCENT (1) was disappointing when a beaten favourite at Whanganui last time out. He peaked on his run that day after leading, and with less time between starts, he can make amends. Follow your money. SO FEAR (5) franked his impressive trial win at Ellerslie with a nose win at Whanganui on debut, when lifting late to get in the final stride that day. She would have learned a lot from that experience, and she can repeat the dose. SHAMBO JACK (3) raced on the pace and folded quickly when making his debut in the spring in a good field at Ellerslie. His trial form hints at something better, and now that he is stronger, he can show his true ability. Each way. SUMMER SCHEMER (6) was a game winner on debut at Ellerslie nearly 4 weeks ago, and she will only improve with more racing. She was unbeaten at the trials beforehand, and she is expected to go on with the job. POUNCE (8) has been freshened since being well beaten in a far stronger field at Ellerslie on debut. Stick with her.

Ran below his best two starts back but hit form again last time when third, beaten 0.7 lengths, over 1200m at Wanganui. Key runner.

Didn't do a bad job last start when fifth on debut over 1100m at this track. Promising two-year-old gelding who is ideally placed to take this out.

Resuming from a break. Placed in a recent trial. Raced just once when last in work and finished fifth at Ellerslie over 1100m. Expected to feature.

Too Darn Hot colt from Tennessee Gold on debut. Ran second at recent trial. Worth watching for any market moves.

Was well in the market on debut last start and got off the mark by a nose over 1200m at Wanganui. Better for that experience and can make it back-to-back wins.

Made an ideal start to her career last time out, scoring by 0.0 lengths over 1100m at Ellerslie. Open to plenty of improvement and another win is on the cards.

Missed the frame on debut then she settled well back and finished fifth in a 1300m contest at Tauherenikau two weeks ago. Tackling a deeper field this time but she can measure up.

Was safely held on debut last start, finishing 10 lengths adrift in eighth at Ellerslie over 1100m. Happy to watch.
