Pukekohe Race 5 - Auckland Co-Op Taxis Hcp (60)
INVESTIGATE (2) is a gradual improver on his last start effort. Has been course placed before. Win chance here at his best. HAYATE (6) was narrow in defeat at her last start. In a very suitable race here. Must include the mare everywhere. HE'S CLASSIC (1) is a partial class dropper in this line-up. Won his Maiden here. Each-way no matter the footing on offer. BRIAN LAMONT (5) was not too bad a run fresh up and he has won second up before. Eleven runs here and yet to pay a dividend is the real worry. POETIC JUSTICE (4) is still a Maiden and has been disappointing in his last two starts. Riding change is a plus here.

First-up after three months 5th of 7 at Te Aroha on March 7 over 1400m, 3 len behind Skiddlydoo carrying 58kg at $9.70. Previously second-up second last of 11 at Hastings on July 1 2023 over 1600m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Manolo carrying 55kg at $16.30. Not too bad a run fresh up. Has won second up. Eleven runs here and yet to pay a dividend is the worry.
