Te Akau Racing has one horse entered on Wednesday 1 July at Sandown (Melbourne). 

Sandown:

Weather: showers, track: Soft6, rail: true. 6mls rain forecast Tuesday and no rain Wednesday. 

5:20 p.m. (NZ) - 3:20 p.m. (Vic) R6 13 Cinturato (3 g Shamus Award – Pirellina) – Logan Bates (1.5kg); he proved too strong in the Benchmark 70 3YO 1400 metres on 7 May at Warrnambool, and wasn’t far away in a stronger field for the 3YO 1400 metres on 30 May at Caulfield. He has been patiently handled and given time (30 days), and contests the A$50,000 Benchmark 70 1200 metres. He ended his previous campaign with a second placing here over 1600 metres, handles give in the ground, races well when fresh and has the ability to prove competitive today. NZ TAB fixed odds: $6.00 & $2.45.
