Avondale Race 6 - WATER TO WASTE PLUMBING & DRAINAGE 1600
BELLA CHICA (12) tried hard on debut when finishing a game fourth at Matamata just over a fortnight ago. The extra 200m is what she is looking for, and with Michael McNab keeping the faith, she is the one to beat in this. CALMTHEFARM (2) settled back and then crept closer before the turn before running on late for second when making his debut at Matamata 17 days ago. He will eventually want a middle distance, but second up, he will still get away with running a sharp 1600m. He can go one better in this. SWEET DISPOSITION (3) ran home strongly for second over 1400m on debut at Matamata. The extra 200m is the key here, and he can have the last say. FAN THE HAMMERS (1) has hit the line strongly in each of his runs to date, and was runner-up at Matamata nearly 6 weeks ago. The step up to 1600m is ideal, and if the gap between runs is not too long, he can take this out. THE MAILMAN (6) ran a much better race when finishing fourth at Pukekohe nearly 4 weeks ago. He can win this.

Has failed to fill a placing at his last few runs, the latest a fourth over 1400m at Pukekohe, beaten 1.5 lengths. Rates highly today can run a much improved race.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished seventh over 1600m at Pukekohe on March 13. No threat last time out but this suits.

Produced a very average sixth when first-up over 1400m at Matamata four weeks ago. Must improve sharply to trouble these.

Stepping out for his 4th run back from a break looking to snap an ordinary run of current form. Hard to get excited about.

Finished seventh on debut last start at Hawera and is likely to improve on that here. Draw helps, but hasn't done anything to date to suggest he can win this.

Three-year-old gelding stepping out for the second time after an inauspicious debut last start, beaten 17 lengths over 1400m at Pukekohe. Not keen on his chances.

Pushed forward from a wide draw last time but tired in the straight to finish sixth over 1600m at Pukekohe. Has ability and can do much better.
