Te Aroha Race 8

TOWES INSURANCE 1600

Prize Money: $36,364

HERO OF WAR (9) was running on late and finished not far off the winner when fifth here just over 3 weeks ago. She is peaking at the right time, and she is good enough to take this out. LERADO (3) had no hope on a leader-dominated track at Tauranga 2 weeks ago, and is more than likely to settle back in the field from a wide gate here. If the tempo is genuine, then he can figure in the top 3 in a field like this. One more chance for us. MORNING COCOA (10) was an overdue but deserved maiden winner fresh up at Tauranga 2 weeks ago. If she strikes another heavy track, then she can repeat the dose. BASSOROC (4) is heading the right way with her form, and she can be expected to be hitting the line hard in this. Include in all top 4 combos to be safe. ROB'S MISTAKE (5) has been in his best form yet from wide gates, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he should put in another honest effort.

Dual acceptor. Returns after a break of six months. Finished his last campaign impressively, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 3600m at this track. Prefer to see how he has returned.

Often in the money but finds it hard to win. Looks close to a win, the latest effort a solid second over 1600m at Tauranga. Well placed and gets her chance to break through.

Just the one win to her name but she has plenty of ability. Settled back at this track last start before making good late inroads to get up for second at the end of 1600m. Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time.

Ran a much improved race last time, sitting on the pace then battling on well to collect her maiden win over 1600m at Pukekohe. Can measure up again.

Comments

Easily beaten at his last run before spelling and didn't fare any better when resuming over 1400m at Pukekohe two weeks ago, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Can't see him turning things around.
