BEST BETS

Matamata September 25, Race 7 Two Madison: Late developer who has really hit her straps with two wins and a second last three starts. Has form on the track and in heavy ground.

Awapuni September 25, Race 5 Loox Like A Pro: Stepping back up to 1400m after late closing third over 990m at New Plymouth. Handles heavy ground and will benefit from Lisa Allpress in the saddle.

Tauranga September 26, Race 1 Glory Bound: Comes up against an interesting field but has the benefit of raceday experience and should be too good ahead of more ambitious missions.
