NZ METRO TC, Friday, September 4
Race 1: REKLAW SUPREME (4, Wayne Higgs) & FAIR DINKUM BROMAC (7, Kimberly Butt), mob, 1950m: “Both looking for luck. Reklaws Supreme will be the pick of the two but both are waiting for grass track racing to start.”
Race 2: STUOVER (4, Blair Orange), mob. 1950m: “Disappointing last week as I may have been too easy on him. He may be looking for a spell after Friday so take on trust.”
Race 6: EASTBURN MARA (2, Kimberly Butt), mob. 1950m: “Racing great but this is a big step up.”
Race 11: LOUIE FINN (1, Mark), mob. 1950m: “Will be in need of a run as better to go to the races for money than trials for nothing, but he is a winning show.”
