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...

Manners will be key, but with them, she looks one of the better chances.RACE 3 @ 6.14PM - #7 BUDDY GOODPut a line through his last start given the trip he had and the time they ran. On exposed form he’d have to be a key player....

A second row draw and a full field will bring a few challengers, but he’s a must include.RACE 5 @ 6.51PM - #8 OPA’S GIRLI’m happy with her steering Cambridge way, however a wide barrier over a sprint, makes it tough. Fingers crossed she finds some luck.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #7 BETA PREPARELeader Peter left the field breathless last week. There’s no reason he can’t repeat the dose.RACE 6 @ 7.22PM - #8 LI...

While he has a second row draw to overcome, I believe $6.50 is overs.RACE 1 @ 4.59Pm - #13 LULANAThere was plenty to like about last weeks win. Even from the draw she’d have to be one of the leading hopes.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #6 SKYS LEGACYOff the back of his win he’s stepped into a very good field. He’ll need a bit of luck to feature.RACE 5 @ 6.57PM - #9 MAKOHis clo...

I’m sure the pace will be on if Barbarossa displays his home track tactics. Look for him to be storming into it late.RACE 6 @ 7.59PM - #2 MIDFREW LANDOHe was nothing short of massive at Manawatu. In a mo...

The horse he follows out flies the gate so he’ll get a good drag through. If he brings his best form he can feature.RACE 6 @ 8.04PM - #10 SKYS LEGACYHe didn’t have a lot of luck at Manawatu so we’re hoping for a change of fortune. Exposed form isn’t strong so he gets his chance. Don’t write him off.... Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:47:03 +1300 http://www.arnadonnellyharnessracing.co.nz/blog/#post162114
