BEST BETS

Te Rapa December 18, Race 8 Image Of You: Up against some talented opposition but her form this campaign is hard to fault, including on this track, and gets in well at the weights.

Awapuni December 18, Race 7 Marroni: Hit the line hard for narrow win last week and should be suited to the longer distance.

Gore December 19, Race 2 Buoyant: Looked an early winner when finishing strongly into second off a tough run. Draw not the best here, but should be too good.
