RANGIORA HRC, Tuesday, December 31
Race 3: STRIKE ON COMMAND (3, Ricky May), 2000m std: “He went very good at Waimate and should be hard to beat from the draw.”
Race 4: ROCK TILL YOU DROP (2), mob. 2000m: “Didn’t step at Ashburton so he’s in a mobile. He’s another strong each-way chance.”
Race 7: CLASSIEBEE (4, Ricky May), mob. 2000m: “Raced good fresh at Addington and should be a little better for this.”
Race 9: SAGE CREEK (13), mob. 2000m: “Looking for a bit of luck from the draw.”
Outside drives
Race 1: ARMED FORCE (18), UR 2, 30m, 2600m std: “He’s going good races. With any luck off 30m, should be a place chance.”
Race 5: WHATA GAMBLE (5), 1, 10m, 2600m std: “She’s back after a break. Probably just a place chance with her stablemate Royal Aspirations looking the one to beat.”
Race 8: BUY CHEVRON DIRECT (2), 2600m std: “Has his chance but didn’t quicken at Addington last time but hopefully he can show a bit of improvement.”
