Otaki Race 1 - CAVALLO FARMS & CHRIS RUTTEN BLOODSTOCK THREE YEAR OLD

ARGO (1) never got into the race from a wide gate at Ellerslie on Karaka Million Night 4 weeks ago, and will be dropping back from a mile to a more suitable trip of 1400m here. He has a superior gate and is good enough to take this out. BATTLE TYCOON (4) franked his recent trial win with a very impressive maiden win fresh up at Tauranga just over 6 weeks ago. He is bred to go on with the job, and he can measure up in this better field as well. OH MAIMAI (5) tried hard in a testing heavy ground at New Plymouth 4 weeks ago over 1800m, finishing fifth. She is better off being kept to the shorter trips for now, and she has each-way claims in this even field. KAWAKAWA (7) has been below her best lately, but is nicely placed in this, and she can bounce back into form with an extra 200m to run in this suitable small field.

Dual acceptor. Lightly raced three-year-old colt who recorded an impressive win first up last start over 1300m at Tauranga, scoring with something in reserve. Has upside and worth following up.
