Wingatui tips and results

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.80 · Triston Moodley

He has the plum rails draw for a Wingatui staying race on a heavy track, where inside and on-pace runners dominate, and he can lead or sit handy in a race with no obvious front-runner. Dropping out of open company, he has repeatedly run to a winning standard on wet ground and placed twice over 2200m on heavy tracks this winter. Age and a plain last start are the knocks, but the setup is ideal.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.20 · Yogesh Atchamah

She has the strongest recent wet-track form of anyone here, having placed in two recent staying races on heavy ground, and she drops back in grade. A genuine 2200m stayer, she looks the each-way overlay. The risks are real, though: she has never placed in six starts at Wingatui, likes to settle a long way back, and was well held only six days ago.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.10 · Rohan Mudhoo

The concern is the map: on a Heavy 10 at Wingatui with the rail out, closers are struggling early in the day and he settled well back in his lone outing. He's the class runner, but conditions don't obviously suit a get-back type, so he's a place rather than a win play.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.70 · Tom Wigram

The very light weight of 53.5kg is a genuine plus on a Heavy 10 and the draw is workable. With no exposed form I'm judging her by proxy on her trainer's excellent numbers, but the apprentice booking and a stamina-leaning pedigree over a 1200m dash are reasons to keep stakes modest. She's a watch-and-back-on-stable-confidence selection.

Our price $13.00 · SP $14.80 · Leah Hemi

The wide draw and lack of wet-track evidence are real risks, so this is a small each-way play rather than a win-only investment.

Our price $4.50 · SP $10.70 · Corey Campbell

Angel's Army brings the strongest single piece of form into this weak maiden: a fast-finishing second over 1400m on a heavy track at Riverton last start. She is drawn perfectly in barrier two on a Wingatui surface that heavily favours inside, forward-settling runners, and she gets in light at 56.5kg. The main query is a 147-day freshen-up, but she has placed first-up before.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.00 · Rohan Mudhoo

She is race-fit and finishes strongly, which is valuable on a testing surface. However, the wide draw in barrier 10 on a Wingatui track that clearly favours inside and on-pace runners is a real concern, and she is yet to win in six tries.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.40 · Cooper Stumbles

Runner-up to Proudtobehere here last start under the same Heavy 10 conditions and clearly on the improve. She has a strong record on rain-affected ground, a suitable inside gate and a handy turn of foot.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.40 · Daniel Bothamley

Consistent galloper with a fine place record who resumes after a five-month break. But he has never raced over 1400m, shoulders top weight and must overcome a wide draw on a heavy surface.

Our price $13.00 · SP $21.10 · Cooper Stumbles

Tough veteran who has won here over this trip and handles wet ground. Drawn well in barrier four and likely to race handy in a race lacking early speed, which suits. Two solid second-up runs are on his record, but he must carry top weight and his recent form has been only fair.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.10 · Triston Moodley

Genuine 1400m mare who has two wins and a placing from five starts at the trip and drops in class for this. Her recent efforts rate among the best in the field and her regular rider knows her well. She is first up from a long break and drawn a touch wide, which is why she is a value play rather than a leading hope.

Our price $5.50 · SP $19.40 · Corey Campbell

Hails from a last-start maiden win on a Heavy 10 and now gets the perfect setup — gate two, abundant early speed and a Wingatui track that rewards leaders who race on the inside. She handles the wet and her rider knows every inch of this course.

Our price $8.00 · SP $21.30 · Cooper Stumbles

A class dropper from stronger Bm75 races with excellent wet-track credentials, including a heavy-ground win and placing in Bm65 company at Wingatui and Riverton. She has been running better than her recent finishing positions suggest and settles handy, which suits.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.60 · Abdul Najib

The only runner in this field who has raced recently and he comes off a fighting second over this course and distance on a testing surface. He settles handy, copes with wet going and has placed five times at Wingatui. The knock is that he has never actually won here, and his overall form lines are modest as he steps up in class, but fitness and track craft give him a real edge.

Our price $8.50 · SP $19.30 · Alyssa Parris

Consistent wet-track campaigner who was a close second in an Open 1200m last start and has won on heavy ground making the running. Drawn well and likely to be prominent on a sharp track, his form and map both fit the conditions.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.20 · Triston Moodley

Won his only start, a 1200m maiden on heavy going at Oamaru, running on strongly from midfield — a good sign he handles conditions and can sit off the pace. From a stable going at 25%, he has the most upside in this line-up.

Our price $5.50 · SP $2.20 · Cooper Stumbles

The problem is the draw: barrier 15 at a course where inside gates dominate, and she won by leading last time, which will be much harder to repeat from out there. Stepping up in grade as well, so she looks short enough and is best played for a placing.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.70 · Gosen A Jogoo

Honest veteran who led and finished second last start on Heavy 10 over 1200m, and she has a stack of wet-track experience. Drawn 5, which suits the inside, on-pace pattern that shapes these Wingatui sprints. The rider is without a recent win, which is the main worry.
