Te Akau Wangaratta Monday Preview

Te Akau Racing has three horses entered on Monday 16 November at Wangaratta (Victoria). 

Wangaratta:

Weather: fine, track: Good4, rail: out 4 metres. No rain forecast.

4:00 p.m. (NZ) - 2:00 p.m. (Vic) R2 5 Fully Funded (4 m Snitzel – Bright Path) – Jake Noonan; she continued her good form with a strong finish for second after camping on the leaders in a Maiden 1100 metres on 24 October at St Arnaud, and contests the A$32,000 Maiden 1170 metres. She has delivered four good efforts this time in, placing in five of seven starts in total, and rates a top three chance. NZ TAB fixed odds: $5.00 & $1.90.

4:30 p.m. (NZ) - 2:30 p.m. (Vic) R3 14 Regal Banter (3 f King’s Legacy – Chit Chat) – Jett Stanley; she has been given time (29 days) since being unable to quicken in a Maiden 1860 metres on 17 October at Avoca, and contests the A$32,000 Maiden 1400 metres. Dropping back in distance, she is certainly looking for an improved performance if she can attract some decent luck from barrier nine. NZ TAB fixed odds: $21.00 & $5.00.

5:30 p.m. (NZ) - 3:30 p.m. (Vic) R5 1 Sheanadh (4 m Night Of Thunder – Disbelieve) – Liana Wood (a3); she kept closing from beyond midfield for fifth in a Benchmark 56 1400 metres on 19 October at Echuca, has also been given time (27 days), and contests the A$22,000 Benchmark 56 1590 metres. She has continued to race well since her fresh-up win in September, has won two of six starts, enjoys the plus of weight relief to 59.5kg, and is ideally drawn (3) to make an impact in this field. NZ TAB fixed odds: $7.00 & $2.50.
