Race 7 Ellerslie Saturday, March 2

PERICLES

Won well over 1200m this track last month and proved himself over 1400m at previous start. Drawn to get the right run, great value to complete a hat-trick.

Race 4 Wingatui Saturday, March 2

MILLEFIORI

The post came a shade too soon when narrowly beaten over 1100m at Riccarton. Overall form is well up to this company and looks well placed to go one better.

Race 7 Tauherenikau Sunday, March 3

WHANGAEHU

A horse on the rise and even with clear topweight can go back-to-back after convincing Wairoa Cup win. Has winning form in soft and heavy ground.
