Te Akau New Zealand has two horses racing on Sunday 23 August at Te Aroha.

Weather: overcast, track: Heavy11, rail: out 5 metres. 6mls rain forecast Sunday.

11.00 a.m. R1 4 Richard of Yorke (9 g Oasis Dream - Cascata) - Michael Roustoby (a3); produced another genuine effort for fourth in the Rating 83 2100 metres on 8 August at Te Rapa, after running home well for third in the corresponding event on 18 July Awapuni, and makes his jumps debut in the $10,000 Maiden Hurdle (3100m). A winner twice in testing ground last year and second in the Parliamentary Handicap (2200m), he should go well.

He brings the right form to prove competitive.
