Te Akau Woodville Preview





Te Akau New Zealand has five horses racing on Sunday 17 March at Woodville.





As on Saturday 16 March the conditions were: cloudy and Good3, rail true. No rain forecast. 





1.45 p.m. R3 7 Dublin Rose  (3 f O'Reilly - Irish Dream) - Michael McNab; trialled very well for a close third on 26 February at Avondale, and resumes in the $10,000 Maiden 1200 metres. Unlucky not to have won, she has registered two seconds, third, and two fourths, from six starts, and should race well from barrier one.





2.55 p.m. R5 5 Military Step  (3 g Tavistock - Marching On) - Michael McNab; finished strongly for third after racing handily on a competitive pace when debuting in the Maiden 1200 metres on 24 February at Wairoa. His dam, Marching On (Pentire), impressed with an excellent turn of foot when winning three times up to 1200 metres, and he appears ideally suited stepping to 1400 metres.





3.32 p.m. R6 1 Lord High Spirit (6 g High Chaparral - Azumi) - Michael McNab; resumed with a solid finish for third to Bobby Dee (Zed), who subsequently raced well in the Avondale Guineas (Gr. 2, 2100m) and NZ Derby (Gr. 1, 2400m), in January at Te Teko, and he stretched out well for second on 21 February in the Rating 65 1400 metres at Wairoa. Handily drawn (4) in the $10,000 Rating 65 1600 metres, he rates a top three chance in this field.





4.07 p.m. R7 4 Al Haram (6 g Sea the Stars - En Public) - Michael McNab; closed the margin from last and worked on solidly after the line when resuming in the Rating 82 1400 metres on 6 February at Tauranga, before a run best forgotten in the Rating 82 1550 metres on 1 March at Awapuni. He meets a solid field in the $20,000 Rating 82 1600 metres and should go well from barrier two.





4.42 p.m. R8 4 Te Akau Dragon (3 g Power - Cool Diamond) - Michael McNab; found the line for fourth with the addition of visor blinkers in the Maiden 1350 metres on 15 February at Wanganui, and ideally drawn (4) he appears suited stepping up in distance for the $10,000 Maiden 1600 metres.
