Rotorua Race 6

CAMPBELL INFRASTRUCTURE ROTORUA CUP

Stake: $100,000

OUR JUMALA (2) has been racing super in this campaign. Drawn well. Multiple class dropper. Obvious win chance in this line up. NIGELLA LANE (10) finished sixth last time out in a G2 over 2000m at Te Rapa two weeks ago. Multiple class dropper here. Course winner. Each-way chance in this field. OUTBACK OPAL (3) racing well in her last three runs. Multiple class dropper on last start. Drawn wide. Cannot be omitted here from anywhere. DROP OF SOMETHING (6) has been racing better than it reads of late. Winning rider atop. Cannot be left out in this for all of your multiples. DARK DESTROYER (5) is better than he has shown so far this time in. Drawn wide. Chance here at overs for sure.
