Bet of the week - 15 April
Te Rapa 17th April
R7 Avantage: With the race meeting getting moved to Te Rapa it may favour the 8-time Group 1 winner. The talented mare has been unlucky to run into Melody Belle in a few Group 1s, deserved favourite for the big race. Levante clearly the biggest threat but is yet to get past Avantage to date.
Hastings 17th April
R7 Yatima: The Stephen Marsh trained galloper gets the assistance of Ashvin Goindasamy on board with 53 kgs on top. Has been close enough in its last 2 starts to be finishing off well on Saturday.
Ascot Park 18th April
R6 Luce Del Sole: Former Australian horse that did ok in its first start in NZ. Has a good chance in this field.
