Avondale Race 2

WESTBROOK WINES 1200

Prize Money: $15,455

PETITE ROCHER (5) got a long way back at Matamata last time out and put the writing on the wall when finishing on too late into second-place. Michael McNab replaces an apprentice, and with a more positive ride early on here, she can go one better. CAMILA (7) had plenty of trial experience before finishing seventh on debut at Matamata when needing the run. She is bred to improve with racing, and may be better off over 1200m while she strengthens up. Stick with her. FOO FOO (1) has won his last couple of trials very easily, including his latest on this track, which is an advantage, and from a good gate, he will be ready to rumble. ETUPIRKA (8) has only been fair in each of her runs to date, and her trial form prior suggests that she can improve sharply third up in this. Include. GOLDEN POINT (2) makes his debut from the coveted pole position, and his trial form says he won't be a maiden for long. Check the market moves.

Three-year-old gelding on debut. Has had four trials leading into this, scoring most recently at Avondale over 1000m. Beautifully drawn and looks primed to play a major role.

Unraced 3yo gelding who has trialled four times. Best trial form was when he won at Ellerslie on March 10. Don't rule him out.

Dual acceptor. Three-year-old gelding having his first race start. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others barring market push.

Dual acceptor. Returns from a break. Prepared for this with a recent trial at Avondale. Raced just once last prep and finished tenth at Ruakaka over 1200m. Might be better off following this outing.
