Hopefully she finds some luck and we see her getting home.RACE 5 @ 6.45PM - #7 THE LAST YARNShe’s another whose been dealt a tough draw over a sprint trip. Having said that, her place odds are generous.RACE 6 @ 7.20PM - #6 MIDFREW LANDOThe favourite looks hard to beat from barrier 1, but the way this bloke is racing he’s a must include in all combinations.RACE 9 @ 9.07PM - #4 BETA PREPAREThis could be an i...

He’s racing great so looks a solid chance.RACE 9 @ 8.54PM - #6 THE SURFERHe’s fresh on a new campaign off the back of a quiet workout. While he’ll benefit from the outing, his work suggests a forward showing.RACE 9 @ 8.54PM - #7 LITTLE SPIKEThe back mark is always hard. He needs to be driven for one run, so hopefully we see him hitting the line....

He’s capable of upsetting the back markers.RACE 8 @ 8.52PM - #4 BETA PREPAREHe’s racing a lot better than his formline reads. He just hasn’t been getting the rub of the green. One to cover in all combinations.RACE 8 @ 8.52PM - #8 LITTLE SPIKEI said last time it’s tough off a big handicap but he proved me wrong. I do think they’ll be running up front so fingers crossed we see h...

She’s worthy of inclusion in all options.RACE 7 @ 7.41PM - #9 THE LAST YARNLuck will need to play it’s part from one on the second rowe. Fingers crossed she can find a gap and be hitting the line.RACE 7 @ 7.41PM - #12 BAILEYS PITCHI has happy with his first up effort given they ran 2.40. It looks a race between the two favourites, but with a good trip he’s a trifecta/first four chance.RACE 9 @ ...

His opening odds of $31 and $6 were far to generous.RACE 6 @ 7.10PM - #9 AROSEI’m expecting she’ll get a nice drag through from one on the second row. With natural improvement, lets hope she can sneak into it.RACE 8 @ 8.08PM - #4 NIGHT MOVESThere was plenty to like about her last start effort. She looks one of the better chances.RACE 9 @ 8.35PM - #6 BETA PREPAREHe was super in the Country...

If they go hard I think it’ll suit her, and saved for one run I’m sure she’ll be getting home.RACE 1 @ 4.52PM - #8 THE LAST YARNIt’s a step up from maiden company, coupled with a horror draw over the sprint trip. Fingers crossed she can find some luck.RACE 3 @ 5.54PM - #6 AROSEOff the back to two quiet workouts she’s progressing in the right direction. It’s a big field and a tricky barrier, so if she’s making groun...

She has a draw to land handy to the pace, and on exposed form looks a nice each way chance....

Hopefully Zachary Butcher can weave some magic.RACE 5 @ 7.14PM - #1 CRITICAL IMAGEHe returns after a confidence trip to Manawatu. On paper he looks a great each way chance, but $1.70 is to short....

From a front row draw, she should land closer to the pace. Fingers crossed she gets her chance.RACE 5 @ 7.04PM - #9 ROUGH AND READYIt was a tough ask over the sprint trip, but I thought he stuck on well. The extra distance will play into his hands. Stay loyal.RACE 6 @ 7.29PM - #8 CRITICAL IMAGEInitially I was disappointed he didn’t win, but on reflection they never stopped running. It’s a tricky ...

Exposed form isn’t overly strong, so with the right run she’s an each way hope.RACE 4 @ 5.27PM - # 5 CRITICAL IMAGEWell you won’t get rich off the price. It’s a significant drop in company so you’d have to have him on top.RACE 7 @ 6.47PM - #8 ROUGH AND READYBoth horse and driver have a great track record. While the handicap makes it tough, the advantage is his key rival starts off the same mark. H... Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:53:29 +1200 http://www.arnadonnellyharnessracing.co.nz/blog/#post163798
