Rangiora Race 7 - 50 YEARS MARRIED GREG & ANNETTE WRIGHT MBL PACE
DAWN TO DARK (8) resumes from a spell after finishing sixth at his latest appearance at Kaikoura on November 4. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. KAIRAKI VEGAS (1) finished tenth at Addington two runs ago before finishing seventh at her latest appearance over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 30 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can turn in a much better performance. ROCKOUTRAY (9) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at Oamaru. TWEEDY (2) was beaten 11 metres on debut last start over 1980m at Addington. Has plenty of scope for improvement.

Has struggled of late. Last start 7th (Sr2) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 30 m by Cruising Fontana (2:35.90) in 3yo+ on March 23 at $6.60. The run prior 10th (Fr9) over 1980m at Addington, beaten 21 m by Justyouwait (2:27.30) in 3yo+ FM on March 14 at $31.60. Much better gate this time and expected to finish closer.

At her previous start solid effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 5 m by Rising Storm (1:55.00) in 3yo+ on February 27 at $2.50. Rates highly on best and can bounce back.
