New Plymouth Raceway Race 7

TARANAKI BUILDING LTD RATING 65 1400

Prize Money: $16,818

MELONI (3) will give local trainer Robbie Patterson a strong hand in this race, and we think he could be the best of his after his fresh-up sixth here 16 days ago when sent out as the favourite. He had won a trial nicely before that, and will have an extra furlong to travel this time. Follow your money, and put him on top. SIR BRUCE (6) had come to the end of his prep when finishing out of the money at Trentham over 2100m in early March. He has trialled and is expected to sprint well fresh up. Use the market moves as your best guide. BALLROOM BLITZ (7) ran a couple of good races in the early winter before training off on some very testing surfaces. She has been kept back while waiting for some firmer surfaces, and she is not to be underestimated in a field like this. PIERCING ARROW (10) wasn't bad fresh up here over 1200m, and he can be a sharp improver at each-way value in this.
