Te Aroha Race 7 - Nztba Mile
MOSINVADER (8) has gone super runs in all his starts this time in. Drawn the ace and is a win chance in this no matter the track conditions. DARK DESTROYER (2) is a multiple-class dropper in this field. Has won second up before as well. Include the gelding everywhere. UDERZO (7) drops back many grades here on his last start. Looks very well weighted in this field. Trifecta and first four must. CHANNEL SURFER (9) was an impressive fresh-up winner albeit narrowly. Has won second up before but is yet to win clockwise. ELECTRON (6) went very close last time in a G3. Multiple class dropper here. Has run super in four of last five starts. Impossible to overlook in this line-up.
