PRENDERGAST RACING MAIDEN 1150m Track: SOFT 5 Out 4.5m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Petite Rocher possessing enough dash to find the front. PETITE ROCHER (12) finished seventh over 1400m at Te Rapa last start after finishing runner-up at Whanganui on debut. The blinkers go on, and with the blinkers on over a shorter trip, she looks well placed to bounce back. On top. BOOMSTRUCK (5) is a promising maiden after 4 runs and wasn’t far away last time when sixth over 1200m at Tauranga nearly a month ago after racing handy throughout. This looks like a suitable race, and he should be hard to beat from a handy gate. DEPRIVE (4) was close to breaking through prior to a short spell that would have done him no harm. He cops a wide gate, but he won't be a maiden for much longer. Each way. ARWEN (15) is a filly by Ancient Spirit out of stakes-winner Coulee, making her debut. She has been to the fore in both of her trials to date, and even from a wide gate, she will attract plenty of attention in the market. CAPTAIN ROY (1) has raced his way into some good form, and he won't have to improve by much to win a race like this. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boomstruck each way in an even field.
