BEST BETS

Tauranga Saturday November 13, Race 7 Frontman: Won well last start same track and distance and with expected conditions should handle the step up to weight-for-age.

Riccarton Saturday November 13, Race 4 Kopua: Should have won on the first day and well placed to go one better.

Waverley Sunday November 14, Race 7 Thomas Aquinas: Appears to have found his niche racing over shorter distances. Well placed to prove it again.
