Westport Race 6

Westport Water Services Pace

Prize Money: $10,909

BLUE ROCK DANCER (16) again drew a wide gate last start but did a great job, scoring by 2 metres at this track over 2000m. Has to contend with another very wide draw. Leading hope if things fall his way. JUST HOLLA (9) comes here just a couple of days after finishing second beaten 2 metres over 2000m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. DENNIS DENUTO (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at this track. STYLE COUNCIL (8) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher. Include in all combinations.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Blue Rock Dancer at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on December 26 at $3.60. Raced better the start before that where he posted a big 5 m win (Sr2) at Geraldine (2:21.60) beating Not Over in 3yo+ on December 7 at $6.80. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.

Backs up a couple of days after he didn't show much 7th (Fr7) over 2000m at this track beaten 40 m by Blue Rock Dancer (2:43.90) in 3yo+ on December 26 at $37.30. Before that 4th (Fr9) over 2000m at Addington, beaten 17 m by Major Performer (2:31.80) in 4yo+ on December 17 at $56.60. Even the minor placings look out of reach.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Piccadilly Pete at Rangiora over 2600m in a 3yo+ on December 15 at $8.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Blue Rock Dancer at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on December 26 at $8.40. Should be right in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Piccadilly Pete at Rangiora over 2600m in a 3yo+ on December 15 at $29.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Blue Rock Dancer at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on December 26 at $5.10. Rates highly. Big chance.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Backing up quickly after 5th (Fr14) over 2000m at this track, beaten 23 m by Blue Rock Dancer (2:43.90) in 3yo+ on December 26 at $6.40. The run prior 8th (Fr2) over 2000m at Manawatu beaten 16 m by Doo You Want Me (2:30.30) in 2yo+ on December 12 at $5.90. Finds a nice race to rediscover his best form.
