KEY POINTS:
It might pay to ignore the defeat of Three Chimneys in the big race at Awapuni on January 10 when
summing up today's $25,000 Serepisos Family Memorial Cup Trial at Trentham.
The form looks average on paper, but that is circumstantial.
Light rain at Awapuni turned what might have been an okay track into one that very few horses handled well.
Three Chimneys was almost certainly one of those.
He got back and like many on the day, failed to run on late.
That is not his true form and he could show that this afternoon.
Foxton horseman Dave Haworth's stayers are in fine form at present - Mac O'Reilly nearly toppled Striker in Saturday's $60,000 Anniversary Handicap.
Fellow topweight here, Spectacular Icon had the advantage of being on the speed in that Manawatu race and stuck on reasonably well for third.
He is very solid at the moment and is a real winning chance, despite the 58kg topweight. Southern mare Megapins had no luck in the City Of Auckland Cup last time.
Wall Street in Race 6 has impressed with a couple of fourths from two raceday starts, running home strongly. The 1600m at Trentham should suit.
