Matamata Race 6 - FAIRVIEW MATAMATA 1200 (NZB MEGA MAIDEN SERIES)
STAY FROSTY (1) has been racing well off some tough gates, and he gets a big swing in his draw this time. He is perfectly placed after a 3kg claim, and a wet track is no problem for him. If the inside part of the track is not too bad, then he is the one to beat for ours. PETITE ROCHER (9) was doing her best work late over this trip here just over 3 weeks ago when finishing runner-up. Michael McNab replacing an apprentice is a strong lead, and she is the main danger to the top pick. PUROSANGUE (6) tried hard when finishing fifth on debut at Te Aroha 18 days ago, and he will be better for that experience. He has won a trial prior, and he will be spot on for this assignment on his home track. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. COWBOY (2) only peaked late when finishing fourth fresh at Pukekohe 2 weeks ago. He has the winkers on for the first time, and he can figure in the top 4 again. BOLD AND BRAVE (5) finished fifth in the same race as the fourth pick when making his debut. Include.

Has been about the money of late. Has enjoyed a let-up since finishing third at Tauranga over 1400m on March 14. Looks all set to run well again.

Beaten 2 lengths into fourth when resuming last start over 1200m at Pukekohe. Plenty of improvement to come.

Dual acceptor. Hasn't threatened in any of his runs this time in. Finished eighth, beaten 14 lengths, most recently 14 days ago over 1400m at Pukekohe. Hard to entertain on that form.

Finished 4 lengths back in fifth on debut over 1200m at Pukekohe last start. Will take a lot from that hitout. Can measure up this time.

Won a trial and then overcame difficulties in running to finish fifth on debut over 1150m at Te Aroha. Will improve with the race experience on board. Will be there at the business end.

Belardo gelding who was a NZD $ 10,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 2) yearling and makes his debut. Was in the placings in his most recent trial. Trained on the track and can make an immediate impact despite an awkward barrier.

Dual acceptor. Hasn't done much in recent times, the latest effort a seventh over 1200m at Hawera, beaten 13 lengths. Likely to find this out of reach.

Dual acceptor. Yet to fill a placing in two career runs and was well beaten last time when 7 lengths back in sixth over 1200m at this track. Hasn't done much to inspire.
