OVERVIEW: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) broke stride at the start and lost his chance when resuming. He was in outstanding form at the end of his last preparation and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth another chance. FREMARKS PEGGY (7) was headed off at the start from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when a fast finishing and unlucky second behind Black and Gold last week. This race is no harder and she looms as a strong winning chance again. POPPY POPSTAR (6) made an error in the early stages and lost her chance when seventh at Maryborough last week. She was runner up and beaten narrowly in her two attempts prior so she must be respected. KYVALLEY MISTY (11) has made a few errors recently but she has performed extremely well at the trials so she warrants consideration. BACK: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) – 1.5 units (each way)

OVERVIEW: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) broke stride at the start and lost his chance when resuming. He was in outstanding form at the end of his last preparation and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth another chance. FREMARKS PEGGY (7) was headed off at the start from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when a fast finishing and unlucky second behind Black and Gold last week. This race is no harder and she looms as a strong winning chance again. POPPY POPSTAR (6) made an error in the early stages and lost her chance when seventh at Maryborough last week. She was runner up and beaten narrowly in her two attempts prior so she must be respected.

OVERVIEW: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) broke stride at the start and lost his chance when resuming. He was in outstanding form at the end of his last preparation and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth another chance. FREMARKS PEGGY (7) was headed off at the start from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when a fast finishing and unlucky second behind Black and Gold last week. This race is no harder and she looms as a strong winning chance again. POPPY POPSTAR (6) made an error in the early stages and lost her chance when seventh at Maryborough last week. She was runner up and beaten narrowly in her two attempts prior so she must be respected. KYVALLEY MISTY (11) has made a few errors recently but she has performed extremely well at the trials so she warrants consideration. BACK: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) – 1.5 units (each way)

OVERVIEW: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) broke stride at the start and lost his chance when resuming. He was in outstanding form at the end of his last preparation and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth another chance. FREMARKS PEGGY (7) was headed off at the start from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when a fast finishing and unlucky second behind Black and Gold last week. This race is no harder and she looms as a strong winning chance again. POPPY POPSTAR (6) made an error in the early stages and lost her chance when seventh at Maryborough last week. She was runner up and beaten narrowly in her two attempts prior so she must be respected. KYVALLEY MISTY (11) has made a few errors recently but she has performed extremely well at the trials so she warrants consideration. BACK: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) – 1.5 units (each way)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) broke stride at the start and lost his chance when resuming. He was in outstanding form at the end of his last preparation and he possesses a powerful finishing burst so he is worth another chance. FREMARKS PEGGY (7) was headed off at the start from the pole position and was shuffled back on the markers when a fast finishing and unlucky second behind Black and Gold last week. This race is no harder and she looms as a strong winning chance again. POPPY POPSTAR (6) made an error in the early stages and lost her chance when seventh at Maryborough last week. She was runner up and beaten narrowly in her two attempts prior so she must be respected. KYVALLEY MISTY (11) has made a few errors recently but she has performed extremely well at the trials so she warrants consideration. BACK: RAKERO WARRIOR (9) – 1.5 units (each way)
