Otaki Race 4 - Ar Painters (Bm75)
TSHIEBWE (2) has run very well in his last four starts. After a 4kg claim is well situated here and is the one to beat in this for certain. TITLED (1) he has never missed the top three here. Proven on dry and wet footing and is a quinella and trifecta must in this field. TIKEMYSON (4) is a dual winner here. Has not gone a bad race for ages. Proven on dry and wet ground as well. Impossible to omit in this line up. UNEQUIVOCAL (10) has drawn wide here. Rider atop today won on her at only ride. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. TRAV (3) is a multiple class dropper in this field. Course proven and in the mix.
