Te Akau Rotorua Preview

Te Akau New Zealand has two horses entered for the eight race programme on Friday March 27 at Rotorua.

As on Thursday March 26 the conditions were: fine and Dead4, rail out 1 metre.

4.00 p.m. R6 2 Flirty Gertey (4 m Thorn Park - Granma Gertey) - Matt Cameron; resumes off 91-days in the Rating 75 1400 metres, having quickened up nicely to win a recent trial over 1230 metres on this course. Drawing the outside gate in a field of ten means she requires luck to find a position early on, but able to execute that she certainly has the ability to match her rivals.

5.10 p.m. R8 12 Frock (3 f Road to Rock - Mya) - Matt Cameron; rallied from a handy position to finish fourth when resuming off 50-days in the Maiden 2200 metres a fortnight ago at Te Aroha. Prior to, she stayed on in determined fashion for fourth here in the Maiden 1950 metres and from barrier one she contests the corresponding event. She tries hard and the plan is to make use of her stamina on the pace.
