Westport Race 10

Buller Refrigeration & Electrical Handicap Trot

Prize Money: $13,636

TU TANGATA (8) finished fourth two starts ago then registered an effortless win last start, scoring by 12 metres over 2600m at Addington. Must overcome a 10m handicap this time. Tough ask but he is up to the task. MASTERLY (6) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 9 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and can grab a well-deserved win. REGAL SIERRA (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 2600m at Rangiora. EUROKASH (9) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2500m at Geraldine two-and-a-half weeks ago. He is poised to go one better on the circuit.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 2600m at Rangiora beaten 6 m by Te Rapa (3:29.30) in 3yo+ on December 15 at $5.40. Two runs back posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr8) at Motukarara (2:55.30) beating Buffy Northstains in 3yo+ FM on November 24 at $4.50. Big run expected.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Sr3) over 1980m at Addington beaten 40 m by Styx Jewel (2:28.00) on December 13 at $46. Before that 11th (Fr10) over 1950m at Geraldine, well beaten by Te Rapa (2:31.10) in 3yo+ on December 7 at $17.40. Not doing enough to threaten the top few.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 1.5 m (20m 1) at Mt Harding (3:10.60) beating Maui in 3yo+ on December 1 at $6.20. Last start just missed, good run when 2nd (20m 1) over 2500m at Geraldine, beaten 0.5 m by Maui (3:13.70) on December 7 at $4.30. Going along well. Top prospects.
