Te Akau Bank's Peninsula Preview

Te Akau New Zealand has three horses racing on Sunday 4 November at Motukarara.

As on Saturday 3 November the conditions were: overcast and Dead6, rail true. No rain forecast.

12.45 p.m. R2 7 Quattro Katie (3 f Zoustar - Kakakakatie) - Jason Laking; co-lead a competitive pace when fourth on testing ground in the Maiden 1200 metres on 12 October at Timaru, after finishing solidly for third in the Canterbury Belle Stakes (Listed, 1200m) on 22 September at Riccarton. Ideally drawn (3) in the $10,000 Maiden 3YO 1200 metres presents a good opportunity to break through.

3.00 p.m. R6 3 Summer Monsoon (4 g Stratum - Princess Narine) - Jason Laking; won fresh-up by 4 ¼ lengths in the Rating 65 1250 metres on 30 August at Ashburton, and after racing too keenly next time out he improved when finding the line for fifth in the Rating 82 1200 metres on 12 October at Timaru. Back in grade and drawn barrier one in the $11,000 Rating 72 1200 metres, he appears capable of threatening this field.

4.45 p.m. R9 3 Miss Scandinavia (4 m Smart Missile - Miss Helsinki) - Jason Laking; produced a stylish fresh-up win in the Maiden 1200 metres on 22 September at Riccarton, and stepped up immediately with a strong second given Heavy10 in the Rating 65 1200 metres on 12 October at Timaru. Drawn barrier one in the $10,000 Rating 65 1400 metres, she shapes as the one to beat.
