Winton Race 8

SUBWAY WINTON TROT

Stake: $12,000

AXEL ROSE (9) finished 11th last start over 2600m at Oamaru, beaten 170 metres, after a good third at Wyndham Raceway the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Leading hope if he is at his best. BILL BOOTIT (4) registered a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Big chance based on that recent effort. ERROL D (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m. Genuine threat. THE MERC (1) must be considered after he finished third over 2000m at Oamaru a week-and-a-half ago.
