Te Akau Ashburton Thursday Preview

Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Thursday 16 April at Ashburton. 

Ashburton: 

Weather: overcast, track: Soft5, rail: out 3 metres. No rain forecast.

3:35 p.m. R6 5 Hooray For Harry (4 g Harry Angel – Here We Come) – Amber Riddell (a1); he closed solidly for fifth in the Rating 75 1200 metres on 27 March at Wingatui, also with Amber aboard, and contests the $17,000 Rating 75 1200 metres. He is a dual distance winner, has been course/distance placed, and he does look a top three chance with luck from barrier 10. Fixed odds: $7.50 & $2.60.  

4:39 p.m. R8 3 Celtic Bling (4 m Embellish – Niamh Elizabeth) – Amber Riddell (a1); she circled widest from back in the field for fifth in the Rating 65 1400 metres on 4 March at Riccarton, and wasn't under any pressure while sustaining a good gallop for second in a trial on 23 March at Riccarton. Contesting the $17,000 Rating 65 1400 metres, this homebred girl is a really genuine performer, and can deliver a top four finish if things go her way from her wide gate (11). Fixed odds: $3.20 & $1.60.
