INVERCARGILL HRC, Saturday, January 25
Race 10: SAVEAPATROL (1, Blair Orange), fr, 3200m std: “He’s really finding the line better this season. He used to knock off a bit near the finish last season, so its time to race him in a field like this. You can’t be scared of the likes of Terror To Love. If we run second or third to him we’ll be happy. Goodness Gracious Me should win the Nevele R Fillies Heat for us, but its a non-tote.”
BANKS PENINSULA TC, Sunday, January 26
Race 8: KOWHAI SUNRISE (11, Mark), UR 3, fr, & JUNEAMY CASTLETON (16, Blair Orange), 3, 20m, 2810m std: “She hasn’t been getting away with them. Upset place if she does.”
“Juneamy won good at Oamaru on the grass. Its going to be harder over the longer trip but a chance again.”
Classiebee, a grass winner at Oamaru last Sunday and a chance again at Motukarara on Sunday.
Race 9: CLASSIEBEE (12, Blair Orange), 4, 20m, 2810m std: “He’s racing good but a step up from last week. With a good run, he could be a place chance.”
Mark’s outside drives
Race 3: THREE SANDS (6), mob. 2000m: “Don’t know that much about her other than she qualified on the grass at Orari last month.”
Race 6: SUPREME GEM (13), mob. 2000m: “She’s going good again. Should be an each-way show in a C2-4 field.”
