Ruakaka Race 1 - PROMOTE WAIPU
MORETOTHINKABOUT (1) is a colt by So You Think making his first appearance. Three times trialled for a win and a second. His dam has left five winning foals, with More Sundays (6 wins) the most prolific. He has a big chance to win on his debut. BELLE NOIRE (8) resumes from a short spell and was good enough to finish second on debut near the end of March. She will continue to improve with racing and should pick up a win this year. VANBRUGH BELLE (9) has failed to fire in her last couple of starts on the Cambridge poly track and will be better suited to the 1200m here. Her trial form says she has the ability, and she is worth another chance. POPPA DENNIS (2) battled away solidly at Pukekohe 17 days ago and should now be peaking at his third career start. Include in all combinations. BEAT OF THE SUN (3) is on debut and has been thereabouts in both of his trials to date. A wide draw is no help, but any market support will be worth following.

Gelding by Fierce Impact making his first appearance. Twice trialled and was runner-up at Ellerslie on June 9 over 1100m. Dam has left four winning foals with Flying Shamus (8 wins) the most prolific. Be very tote wary.
