Westport Race 9

HUNTSMAN OPTIC (TREVOR CRADDOCK MEMORIAL SERIES) HCP TROT

Prize Money: -

ONE OVER DA LINE (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 15 metres at Addington over 1980m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the ability to take this out. PREMIUM PLAYER (7) produced a respectable performance last time when he battled on well to finish 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 2000m at Addington. Big chance based on ton the latest run. ILLEGAL ALIEN (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Rangiora over 2600m. RACHMANINOV (6) has each-way claims after his last-start fourth over 2600m at Rangiora on March 1.
