Te Rapa Saturday August 27

ROSE ‘N’ POWER: Bold effort to finish fifth in campaign opener. One to watch when she returns to handicap grade.

Awapuni Saturday August 27

LOVETTORLEAVEIT: Genuine mare who keeps knocking for a win. Should get one while tracks remain wet.

Matamata Sunday August 28

BLUSHING BEAUTY: Economical trip backfired when blocked for a run until the final stages. Did well to go down narrowly to a horse that got all the breaks. 

Hawera Sunday August 28

WHAT A CHARMA: A big debut effort after slow start put him in a tricky spot. Hit the line hard after finally working clear. Definitely one to follow.
