Race 6 Riccarton, Friday July 12

HIGHLAND FLING

Brave effort for second after tough last time on this track a fortnight ago. The big shortener after regaining the field and McNab engaged.

Race 3 Ruakaka, Saturday July 13

FERNANDEZ

A winner and several times placed on this track. Not a lot of luck in last two starts when second and fourth, drawn to get the right run this time. Good value at $4.50 boosted odds.

Race 2 Trentham, Saturday July 13

ZEEFA ZED

Knocking for a win after four starts over hurdles, most recently when second to smart sort. Three-kilo claim a big help in what will be testing conditions.
