Te Akau Otaki Thursday Preview

Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Thursday 25 November at Otaki.

Weather: fine, track: Dead5, rail: true. No rain forecast.

12.27 p.m. R2 3 Lord Cosmos  (2 g Pierro - Cosmic Powers) - Michael McNab; finished strongly down the outside for second when trialling on 4 November at Taupo, and debuts in the $30,000 2YO 1000 metres. By Champion Sire Pierro (Lonhro), he is from a Not A Single Doubt (Redoute's Choice) mare that won as two-year-old. He is likely to settle behind pace and look for him getting home.

2.47 p.m. R6 6 Romantic Lady  (5 m Power - Romantic Time) - Danielle Johnson; not far away in two starts this season, most recently in the Legacy Lodge Sprint (Listed, 1200m) on 6 November at Te Rapa. Course/distance Maiden winner in November 2019, at her best she is competitive but she requires luck from barrier 11 in $60,000 Courtesy Ford Levin Stakes (Listed, 1200m). Fixed odds: $9.00 & $3.00.
