Otaki Race 5 - New World Otaki Hcp
IDYLLIC (4) is a multiple class dropper here after leading up at G1 at last start then getting swamped. She is a course proven runner. Win chance on dry or wet footing. ROYAL FLOWER (5) is proven fresh up as well. Course winner and is a multiple class dropper in this. Sure to give a sight in this field. FANCY LIKE LASS (8) was game in defeat fresh up. Course proven and has won on dry and wet ground. Cannot be omitted. BELLE'S ECHO (7) has been placed in all of her runs here. Awkward draw but can't be omitted in this. CONOR O'CEIRIN (1) has a wide draw. Easier here than his last two starts. Is not out of this at overs.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at New Plymouth Raceway on February 1 over 1400m, slow going 2.25 len behind Talisker carrying 57kg at $7.70. The start before that second last in a small field at Wanganui on January 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Amend carrying 58kg at $6.50. Not too bad in all runs so far this time in. Ace gate again. Not the worst.
