Motukarara Race 3 - Rangiora Equine Services Trot
BEYOND THE HORIZON (3) finished third last start over 2170m at this track, beaten 7 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Rangiora the run before. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another bold performance. BLINK N BONES (7) produced a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 1.1 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. TAKE AFTER ME (5) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2170m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Rachmaninov at Rangiora over 2000m in a 3yo+ on November 8 at $12.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Swift Dream at this track over 2170m on November 24 at $30.30. One of the key runners.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Knowing Me at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on November 14 at $34.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind The Bloss at Rangiora over 2600m in a 5yo+ on November 20 at $26.50. Has the same draw and should produce again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (Fr9) over 2170m at this track, well beaten by Swift Dream (2:52.80) on November 24 at $62.90. Before that 13th (Fr12) over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway, well beaten by Knowing Me (3:06.40) in 3yo+ on November 14 at $135.90. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
