Avondale Race 4 - BARNESWOOD FARM 1400
CHASING WARRIOR (1) has been a lot more competitive this year and gave a good sight at Pukekohe 3 weeks ago when finishing third after setting the pace. He is the likely leader here as well, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he can take this out. NOTABADBERGS (2) ran a much better race fresh up from a new stable when finishing runner-up at Ruakaka 18 days ago. He was less than a length from the winner that day, and with an extra furlong this time being ideal, he can go one better. FRACAS (3) was third in a 4-horse field on debut at Tauranga and will be better for the experience. He has the pole position here, and if it is the place to be, then he can continue to improve. AKIMOTO (7) got back too far from a wide draw at Tauranga second up 25 days ago and never got warm. She has a big swing in her gate this time, and is worth another chance. DES MOINES (6) is on debut with 3 trials under his belt. He is bred to love wet ground and should not be risked. Include in all combinations.

Recent form sound. At the latest run led but faded 3rd of 10 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1400m, in the wet; 2.75 len behind Graces Gift carrying 57.5kg at $4.10. The race before that led but faded 2nd of 8 at Te Aroha on June 2 over 1400m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Skycatcher carrying 56.5kg at $13.40. Capable of a strong showing.

At debut, in a small field at Tauranga on July 6 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Eligius carrying 57.5kg at $8.10. Shows ability and expected to improve. Will derive great benefit from that outing and looks a great chance to break through.

Resuming after a three months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 at Matamata April 17 over 1600m, soft track; 22 len behind Ballistic Miss carrying 57.5kg at $55.30. On debut ran last of 10 at Matamata March 1 over 1400m, 23 len behind St Giles carrying 58kg at $62. Could be one to spice up any multiples.

First starter by Belardo out of Cruz Campo. Has a total of three trials prior to his debut today. Fitter for recent trials so it will pay to keep him safe.
