Race 7 Oamaru Friday, August 16

PERROGRINE

First start since March, has gone well when fresh before and with the benefit of more experience can get some of it.

Race 5 Ruakaka Saturday, August 17

SHAMUS

Has rediscovered his mojo with a win and a fourth in last two starts. Looks the one to beat over the same 1400m trip.

Race 4 New Plymouth Saturday, August 17

STREET GOSSIP

Dominant in first-up win for new stable and even though up in grade she has strong Australian credentials to manage it.

Race 1 Rotorua Sunday, August 18

QUID

Lightly raced winner of two out of three on the flat. From the right stable to make his mark in hurdle debut.
