Te Akau Tauranga Midweek Preview


Te Akau Racing has one horse entered on Wednesday 31 July at Tauranga. 


Tauranga:

Weather: overcast, track: Heavy10, rail: out 9 metres. 9mls rain forecast Tuesday and 12mls Wednesday. 

2:19 p.m. R6 5 Devoted (6 g Contributer – Mapmaker) – Tayla Melvin (a4); he was pulled up on the journey in the Maiden Steeplechase (4000m) on 29 June at Hastings, after placing in two previous steeplechase events, and reverts to flat race in the $35,000 Rating 75 2100 metres. Hopefully it is a case of 'third time lucky' for this boy who has travelled to two race meetings in recent days, ready to race, only to have the meeting abandoned! He provided Te Akau apprentice Melvin with her first win when coming from last on Heavy10 footing in the Rating 65 2100 metres on 25 May at Pukekohe, has weight relief to 52kg, and is a course winner. While he strikes a good field, he finds the opportunity to right the ship. Fixed odds: $12.00 & $3.30.
