Tauranga Race 6 - Bayleys Projects Bay Of Plenty (Bm75)
KING OF THE NORTH (6) Zipped home into 2nd last time at Matamata and will appreciate a good draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Winning hope. LIVID SKY (7) Rocketed home when winning last time at Matamata but testing ability against stronger contenders. Deserves consideration. JOLTED (4) Finished 7th last start at Matamata. Giving another go here and proven performer at this trip in the past. Should muster plenty of early toe. Back over extra ground. Can go on with it. FLAMENCO (8) Faded to finish 9th last run at Matamata. Giving another chance here and back in an easier grade. Possesses very good finishing speed. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.
