Te Akau Stawell Sunday Preview
Date: 31 Mar 2024
Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Sunday 31 March at Stawell (Victoria).
Stawell:
Weather: fine, track: Good4, rail: true. No rain forecast.
3:35 p.m. (NZ) ~ 1:35 p.m. (Vic) R2 2 Fleet Footed (3 g Zoustar – Fox Swift) – Harry Coffey; he did well finding the line for fourth in the Maiden 1200 metres on 23 February at Terang, has been given time (37 days), and contests the A$37,500 Maiden 1300 metres. He seems to be continuing to improve with racing and appears competitive here if he can secure a decent trip from the awkward draw (9). NZ TAB fixed odds: $11.00 & $3.50.
6:35 p.m. (NZ time) ~ 4:35 p.m. (Vic) R7 7 Lord Dynastic (4 g Almanzor – Meir) – Patrick Moloney; he quickened to win a jump out over 1200 metres on 26 February at Cranbourne, and found the line from back in the field for sixth when resuming in the Benchmark 70 1500 metres on 13 March at Caulfield. He finished strongly for second in the Avoca Cup (1860m) and then spelled following the Ararat Gold Cup (2200m) in November. Contesting the A$70,000 Stuart McGregor Stawell Cup (2000m), he is aided by drawing the ace. NZ TAB fixed odds: $14.00 & $4.00.
