Te Akau Wanganui Sunday Preview
28 December, 2024
Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Sunday 29 December at Wanganui.
Wanganui:
Weather: fine, track: Soft5, rail: out 5 metres. No rain forecast.
3:01 p.m. R5 3 Sorcha (5 m Burgundy – Niamh Elizabeth) – Jonathan Riddell; she went forward from a wide gate to travel three-wide near the pace, tracked the leaders turning for home, and ran on solidly for fifth in a trial on 17 December at Pukekohe. Resuming in the $18,500 Rating 75 1200 metres, she has recorded three wins on poly-tracks to 1400 metres, and is a genuine performer. She brings the ability to act well fresh and is ideally drawn (3) to race well - one of two in the event for the stable (main picture). Fixed odds: $7.00 & $2.15.
3:01 p.m. R5 6 French Rose (5 m Burgundy – Paraiba) – Lisa Allpress; she steadied for cover, was seven lengths off the leaders at the 600m, and was not asked for too much when remaining back in a trial on 17 December at Pukekohe. She too resumes in the $18,500 Rating 75 1200 metres. Three wins over distance, meets good field but opportunity to commence with solid showing with decent trip from barrier eight. Fixed odds: $16.00 & $3.70.
