New Plymouth Raceway Race 4 - SEATON PARK 1400
SHADOW RULER (9) backs up quickly after producing a strong effort for second over 1400m at Otaki a week ago. She only needs to make a better beginning from a favourable draw, and she looks set to go one better. PRINCE OF DIAMONDS (3) has made a promising start to his career with placings at both of his outings, including a solid third at Waverley last time out a fortnight ago. He has a better draw this time, and he can take it out. BOKUSHI (2) rolled forward and stuck on gamely when runner-up at Wanganui over 1360m. This is a stronger race, but the good barrier should allow him to settle prominently, and he will be hard to hold out. BRIDIE (10) showed ability at her first race start when finishing close up in third at Hawera over 1200m. She likes it wet, and her first win is not far away. FACILITATE (4) ran on strongly late for fifth at Arawa Park a fortnight ago when finishing fifth. He won a trial before that, with the extra 185m to travel, he can figure in the finish.

Was beaten just 0.7 lengths when second at his latest appearance at Wanganui over 1360m. Leading prospect.

Yet to miss the top three in two runs at this distance. Last time out finished third over 1400m at Waverley. Draws well and is a strong winning chance.

Resumed over 1200m at Wanganui last start and finished 6 lengths away in eighth. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Went well on debut five weeks ago when third over 1200m at Hawera. Sure to come on from that run and appeals as one of the major players.

Hasn't been setting the world on fire of late, the latest effort a 12th over 1600m at Hawera, beaten 15 lengths. Looks tested in this field.
