Won a Maiden Poly Mile back in September when leading most of the way and ran 10th in a Turf Mile in October after leading and coming to the end of her run at the 400m. Has strengthened and is working well. Fingers crossed for a nice run. Finished 7th , nice first run for the new season, fought all the way and will improve.
Sunday 12th January
Race 2 the Restricted Maiden 1200m Turf Course B Short $75000 sees The Brotherhood back up from last week starting from barrier 12 ridden by R Woodworth. The 3 Year Old , So You Think gelding , is raced by B Two Stable and has had 3 starts for 0-2-0. This is his first time on the Turf and ran 2nd on November 3rd in a 1000m Poly, 2nd again on 8th December in a 1000m Poly, and 4th last start in a 1200m Poly on New Years Day after racing wide without cover. The draw won't help but we hope Benny can work his magic and The Brotherhood can break Maiden ranks. Finished 4th. Wide draw , would have rather trailed but a lot of early pace so elected to lead or would have been caught 3 wide. Will improve and needs a better draw.
Race 6 the Maiden 1400m Course B Short $20000 sees The Iceman start from barrier 6 ridden by WH Kok 2kg claim . The 4 Year Old Darci Brahma gelding is raced by Falcon Racing No 7 Stable and has had 9 starts for 0-1-2. He is new to the Stable . Nice ride , nice win.
Race 7 the Class 5 1400m Turf Course B Short $30000 sees Bangkok Boy jump from barrier 11 ridden by JP Van Der Merwe. The 5 Year Old Pierro gelding is raced by King Power Stable and has had 17 starts for 1-2-1. Has had issues and was spelled. Raced 8th December and finished 8th. Looking for improvement here. Finished 10th, will be in the finish over a mile.
Champagne Finale starts in the same race and will be ridden by CC Wong from barrier 2. The 4 Year Old All Too Hard gelding is raced by Eden Park Racing Stable and has had 13 starts for 1-1-1. Won a Maiden Mile on the Poly on August 25th, ran second in a Class 4 Turf Mile on 20th September and is backing up from last week where he found the heavy new Poly too tough. Hopefully can feature here. Finished 8th , trailed on rail, hard backing up, couldn't finish it off.
Leo also starts in this race and will jump from barrier 7 ridden by S John. The 5 Year Old Bullbars gelding is raced by Donna Marie Logan and has had 13 starts for 1-1-1. Has only ever run on the Turf twice and was just beaten on the line in a Class 5 Turf 1400m on November 11th. Would be nice to get some of this. Finished 13th. Jockey went 3 wide , no hope after that..
Race 8 the Class 4 1400m Turf Course B Short $50000 sees Thunder Dragon start from barrier 6 ridden by WH Kok 2kg claim. The 4 Year Old Super Easy Horse is raced by NZCJC and has had 10 starts for 1-1-2. Pretty consistent runner who has run second in a 1400m Turf race on 27th September, third in a Mile Turf on 20th October and third in a Mile Turf on 22nd November in his last three starts. Can hopefully repeat and run first 3 here. Finished 4th. Led then trailed. Great run , just came to the end of it. Will improve.
Race 9 the Class 4 1000m Poly $50000 sees Dark Necessities start from barrier 6 ridden by S John. The 5 Year Old Pins gelding is raced by Dawn Breaker Stable and has had 3 starts for 1-0-0. Won a Maiden 1000m Poly last February and suffered a small fracture when he kicked the gates in March. Has been a slow process on the road to recovery and hopefully the owners will be rewarded for their patience here. Shocker, horse bolted on jockey, needs to improve .
Race 10 the Class 4 1400m Turf Course B Short $50000 sees Storm To Win start from barrier 3 ridden by S John. The 4 Year Old Storm Creek gelding is raced by Donna Logan and has had 7 starts for 1-1-1. He won a 1400m Turf Restricted Maiden in January last year and had a long spell after suffering a knee problem. Last start on 22nd November he ran third in a Class 4 Turf race that was won by the talented Big Hearted. This is a good field but he has been working really well and can hopefully feature here. Not sure how jockey ended up 3 wide from barrier 3 , checked on turn , didn't finish off in a good field.
