Te Akau Wingatui Saturday Preview


Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Saturday 18 January at Wingatui.  

Wingatui:

Weather: fine, track: Soft5, rail: true. No rain forecast. 

12:45 p.m. R3 1 Discretion Rules (3 g Alabama Express – Miss Madonna) – Kylie Williams; he finished sixth after working on pace when resuming in the $40,000 3YO 1200 metres on 23 November at Wanganui, has been given time (56 days), and contests the corresponding event. He placed to former stable-mate Nucleozor – that horse since sold to Hong Kong – in all three starts, including here on debut, before winning the Listed Champagne Stakes (1200m) last season. He today has the opportunity to improve from barrier three. Fixed odds: $3.40 & $1.40.

12:45 p.m. R3 Maracatu (3 g Ardrossan – Cortado) – Samantha Wynne; he steadied to last from a wide draw and remained back after circling widest on downgrading Soft6 footing in the Rating 65 1200 metres on 26 December at Otaki. He raced well last season, including a win on good footing over 1100 metres, and seeks improvement in the $40,000 3YO 1200 metres. Fixed odds: $3.40 & $1.40.
