Matamata Race 7 - VAUGHAN & DEBBIE NOWELL - BAYLEYS REALESTATE 1600
CLARA BOW (10) has been thereabouts in both of her starts to date, and will have Craig Grylls replacing an apprentice this time. She tries a mile for the first time, and on her home track for her peak effort, she should be hard to hold out. SURPRISE INSIDE (8) got back too far from a wide gate at Te Aroha, and was doing her best work late that day. She has a big swing in her draw this time, and with an extra furlong on travel, she is worth another chance. Each way value. CEASE AND DESIST (2) needed his fresh-up run, and then improved to run second at Tauranga nearly 3 weeks ago over 1400m. He steps up to a mile, and with Opie Bosson keeping the faith, he can go one better in this. WILD THING (4) can do things wrong, but she was game in defeat when second at Ruakaka 15 days ago. She will take some pegging back in this. ALIKAT (5) will be peaking third up from a spell, and she will don the blinkers for the first time. Include her in all top 4 combos.

Strips fitter after two runs this prep. Finished second last start over 1400m at Tauranga, an improvement in the first-up performance. Leading hope this time.

Well into her prep now. Had to contend with a wide alley at her latest run and finished out of the money over 1400m at Arawa Park. Fares better at the draw this time. Sure to be prominent.

Resumed over 1300m at Tauranga last start and finished 5 lengths away in fifth. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.
