Kaikoura Race 10 - THE PIER HOTEL PACE
BERRETTINI (6) found the Sophomore Classic beyond him last start but was racing well prior, recording two wins and two placings from the previous four outings. He'll enjoy this drop in class so can return to the winners' list. THE COALMAN (1) should enjoy the return to this circuit having recorded a win and a placing from two previous visits. Also a two-time winner at the distance so can measure up. ZOOM X (3) had a tough draw and found the Sophomore Classic too tough last start but had won twice in a row prior and is better off in this grade. CARLIN (4) strikes at 50 per cent at this distance including a Mt Harding win two back.
