Te Aroha September 19 – Race 2

YELLOW JERSEY

A promising placegetter at Hawera in his first start over hurdles, he looks well placed to score his first win over jumps here.

 

Ellerslie September 20 – Race 3

CHURMATT

He was a dominant three-length winner on debut at Rotorua in early August, then stepped up in class and ran a close second behind quality filly Platinum Diamond in the Wanganui Guineas – with three lengths back to the third placegetter. He has a lot of upside.

 

Trentham September 20 – Race 2

MA TE WA

Looked good stringing together two wins and a second in his three starts in May, June and July. Won a trial on September 3 and looks primed to continue his progress through the grades.

 

Te Aroha September 21 – Race 2

MORNING COCOA

This consistent mare has recorded five seconds and a third from her nine-start career so far. This maiden highweight looks like an ideal opportunity for her to break through.

 

Gore September 21 – Race 6

MARTELL

Made a good impression in his last-start victory at Wingatui, which was his first start since moving down from the North Island. Can go on with it.
