Timaru Friday Oct 7

Race 5 HAGGLE: Showed any amount of talent last season but unsighted when resuming after a rough run. Ideal chance to atone.

Matamata Saturday Oct 8

Race 1 ROMANCING THE MOON: Impressive maiden formline, including stakes placing and last-start second to highly rated stablemate. Meets a strong field but drawn to get the right trip.

Hawera Saturday Oct 8

Race 5 DARCI LA BELLA: Short odds but so she should be after last-start win and against much lower rated rivals at set weights.

Invercargill Sunday Oct 9

Race 5 NO BOUQUET: Form rates well against the opposition and has home track advantage.7
