Race 4 Oamaru, Friday August 18

THE ARCTIC BLAST

Brings strong synthetic track form to the best possible southern turf surface. Has earned his big impost but should still be too strong for these.

Race 3 Ruakaka, Saturday August 19

WANDERIN APACHE

Former quality Hong Kong galloper showing encouraging signs of a revival with a trial win for new connections. Well up to this level.

Race 1 New Plymouth, Saturday August 19

THE DUTCH DAME

Capped consistent form with tidy maiden win at last start. Odds look attractive against an even line-up.

Race 6 Rotorua, Sunday August 20

THE JAKKAL

Big effort for second last start returning from a break and doesn’t need to improve much to go one better against this field.
