Te Rapa Race 1 - WAIKATO DRAUGHT - CELEBRATING 100 YEARS 1200
SISTER CYNANE (6) was somewhat ordinary at her last start. Good second the run prior when fresh up. Wide draw here. Has been course placed. Looks the winner in this. ASCENSION (8) resumes here and showed some promise in first campaign. She has drawn wide but can overcome it. The filly is bred to win multiples times. Biggest danger to the top pick. COMPULSORY (1) has also drawn wide. He has been placed five times so far and can handle dry and wet ground. Place and first four must. DON'T TELL RACHEL (4) she too has drawn wide again but the mare will not be bothered too much by it. Has been placed second up. Include her everywhere. LEVELS UP (3) ran a decent race on debut. He has an awkward draw but is impossible to overlook.

Dual acceptor. Alex Oliveira trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Won a recent Cambridge Synthetic trial. The tote will be your biggest tell.
