Otaki Race 3 - CAVALLO FARM & CHRIS RUTTEN BLOODSTOCK THREE YEAR OLD
VALVANO (6) had an excuse for his last start modest effort, and he was immediately put aside to mature. He has a fairly big private reputation, and now that he has been given that time, he will be a lot stronger this year. A good draw on his home track puts him on top for us, even though he is facing race winners. BELLES BOOM (1) resumes from a spell after showing plenty of talent earlier in the season. He can make full use of the pole position, and a wet track is no problem at all. Hard to bear. LONDON (4) has been freshened up since winning 2 races on the bounce, which included his last start at Hawera just over 7 weeks ago. She has trialled up well since then, and there is no reason why she can't complete a hat-trick of wins. CREMANT (3) won fresh up here on a heavy track just over 3 weeks ago. She is unbeaten here, and she should go close to repeating the dose. SHAMELESS STAR (2) will find this much easier than her last couple of starts, and a form reversal is likely. Each way.

Has not raced since finishing 4 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at Trentham on January 17. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Average effort last start when 11th and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at Te Rapa. Better than that and is capable of turning things around.
