Hastings Saturday September 10

Race 5 FELLINI: Looked smart last season and resumed with a tidy win at Taupo. Has the fitness edge over several keys rivals and well-placed to add another.

Ruakaka Saturday September 10

Race 7 SHOCKATILLATAP: Local with a win and third from his last two home-track starts. This looks well within his reach.

Waverley Sunday September 11

Race 7 PRINCE LEO: In the form of his life with wins at his last two on heavy tracks. No reason why he can’t extend the sequence.
