Awapuni Synthetic Race 1
6 Keepitinyourwallet
Keepitinyourwallet (#6) has shown enough in his past two runs here on the synthetic to suggest he can be competitive in a field of this depth. Expect him to settle back in the run and be finishing strongly late in the small field. 

Awapuni Synthetic Race 2
2 Lurch
Lurch (#2) has taken a real liking to the synthetic surface, winning two starts back and then running a close-up second last start. From the low draw he maps to get every chance, and looks hard to hold out remaining at this course and distance.

3 Jestin Case
Jestin Case (#3) produced a strong run here in better company last start after bombing the start. She'll likely settle back again from the inside alley, but the rise to 2140m should be in her favour. Leading chance in an open race. 

Awapuni Synthetic Race 4
3 Mahoe
Mahoe (#3) maps to push forward in a small field and could be left alone on speed if he crosses early. With Oceans Roar drawn directly inside it may come down to early intent, if Mahoe finds the front, he'll prove hard to peg back. 

Awapuni Synthetic Race 5
5 Consentino
Consentino (#5) was game in defeat last time behind Platinum Design and Showbastian Coe, both of whom reoppose here. From the inside draw he maps to lead this time over the 1000m dash under Bruno Queiroz. Expect him to be hard to run down.

2 Exaggeration
TIP OF THE DAY
Exaggeration (#2) couldn't have been more impressive winning here on debut. The rise to 1400m poses no concerns and he maps to find a similar spot in running from the low draw. Clearly the one they all have to beat. 

Awapuni Synthetic Race 7
7 Our Akashinga
Our Akashinga (#7) had zero luck last start where she never saw daylight in the straight. Expect Bruno Queiroz to ensure she gets clear air this time, and if so, she's capable of bouncing back quickly. Happy to forgive and go again.
