Te Akau Te Rapa Thursday Preview


Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Thursday 16 January at Te Rapa.  

Te Rapa:

Weather: fine, track: Good3, rail: out 7 metres. No rain forecast. 

1:32 p.m. R2 1 I Am Nutz (3 g I Am Invincible – Pecans) – Craig Grylls; he got well back, 10 lengths off the leaders at the 600m, but improved wide rounding the home turn and found the line solidly for fifth when debuting with Grylls aboard in the Maiden 1100 metres on 30 December at Taupo, won by stable-mate Brazen Affair. He appears capable of improvement second-up, but requires luck from barrier 10. Fixed odds: $8.50 & $2.70.

3:57 p.m. R6 13 Luvabeel (3 f Savabeel – O’Lovely) – Wiremu Pinn; she travelled back on the inner, after being slow away, nine lengths off the leaders at the 600m, and closed the margin with a strong finish for fifth when debuting in the Maiden 3YO 1400 metres on 2 January at Tauranga. She has long been held in high regard by the team, has an outstanding pedigree, and appears ideally suited stepping up in the $18,500 Maiden 3YO 1600 metres. She has first four claims if she can secure luck in the running from barrier 10, and jumps cleanly. Fixed odds: $6.00 & $2.40.
