Riccarton Park Synthetic Race 4

BUSH INN OPEN SPRINT

Stake: $40,000

VICTOR ROUGE (5) is a class dropper in this field. A 3kg claim helps him no end. Include him everywhere in this for all of your quinella and trifecta wagers especially after the plethora of scratchings in this event. Will start quite short on the tote too here. CHARBANO (3) is a dual winner here. He is a quinella and trifecta must in this after this field is left so small due to all the scratchings. BUOYANT (6) won his only start here. Include in all of your multiples now this field is down to just four runners incredibly. MAKABAR (4) he is a place and first four hope here after all the scratchings. There are only four runners here going around tellingly.
