Te Rapa Saturday August 27

Race 5 WINDSPEED: Has the advantage of proven form in heavy ground and looks good each-way value to complete a hat-trick of wins at Te Rapa.

Awapuni Saturday August 27

Race 7 TIMBERLAKE: Well placed in the handicap to get a deserved win. All previous wins have been on heavy ground and bound to be tough with the luxury weight of 50kg.

Matamata Sunday August 28

Race 5 INDEEM: Putting together a decent formline on winter tracks, including slightly unlucky last-start second. Has the fitness edge over some higher rated rivals and a two-kilo claim.

Hawera Sunday August 28

Race 4 ARICINA: Building to a win after two solid lead-up performances. At her best on heavy ground, including a win on this track last winter.
