Riccarton Race 2 Saturday September 3

REDFORD: Not getting younger but still has some wins in him judging by solid second-up effort for fourth. Best form is on heavy ground, so should be able to get his chance.

Te Rapa Race 9 Sunday September 4

MASETTO: Brave effort for third after severe check 250m out. That was his first start for nearly three months and sets him up well for a return to middle-distance racing.
