Avondale Race 3 - MCLEOD FAMILY MDN 1200M
CAPOTE (1) has been close up in better fields than this and he will have no fitness concerns fourth up from a break. He maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position, and he is well overdue to break through. SOMBR (2) was sent out as the favourite at Pukekohe 3 weeks ago and ran a much better race to finish second by just over a length. He can again improve, and on a heavy track, he can go one better. BATU (3) looked to peak on his run late when finishing fourth at Te Aroha, when following on from his fresh-up poly track third. He is still on the up with his fitness and should pick up his first win at short notice. JACK HIGH (4) finished fifth in his first run from his new stable a fortnight ago, and he will have a more experienced apprentice in the saddle this time. He is open to sharp improvement, so don't risk him. HIT THE GAS (5) can only improve on his fresh-up effort at Arawa Park, so include in all top 4 combos to be safe.

Dual acceptor. Three runs this campaign have each had merit despite being unable to shed his maiden tag. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here.

Lightly raced galloper who has been well held at both runs this time in work. Was up on the pace before his condition gave out last start over 1150m at Te Aroha. Should be cherry ripe third-up and looks very hard to beat.

Started at a big price on debut last start and reflected that lack of market confidence when 6 lengths back in ninth over 1200m at Tauranga. Better for that run but happy enough to avoid.

Lines up for the first time since February 25. Form at the end of last prep was not flash, the most recent effort a 11th over 1200m at Pukekohe. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.
