Otaki Race 5 - PHILS ELECTRICAL & GIPSY CARAVANS RYDER STAKES
SINGLETARY (3) made progress in 2 starts earlier in the season at Ellerslie, and he has been tuned up for this with a recent trial at Foxton. He cops a tricky gate, but he is right up to winning this fresh. SONAR (1) fought on gamely to score on debut by a nose at Te Aroha nearly 3 weeks ago. He is drawn to receive the run of the race, and he is sure to be very competitive again. BACK OF THE BUS (4) won a nice race at Ellerslie in her penultimate start, and then was a game third in the Castletown Stakes here 15 days ago. She has a fitness edge over her rivals, and is well placed to take this out. MIDNIGHT DART (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing a fair fifth over 1200m at Waverley on May 9. Fitter for a recent trial at Foxton. A heavy track has him right in the finish here. O'BABY (5) resumes from a spell, and she would only have to run up to her debut winning effort at Woodville to be a solid each-way chance in this.

Scored last start over 1150m at Te Aroha, getting home by a nose. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

Produced a moderate performance at his last-start when fifth to Vantage Point over 1200m at Waverley 12 weeks ago. Sure to be thereabouts.

Comes here fresh from a third in the Castletown Stakes won by Actionbelle three weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Tough to beat on latest and can measure up again.

Resuming from a spell. Placed in a recent Te Awamutu trial. Raced just once to date and finished fifth at Te Rapa over 1100m. Prefer to see how she returns.
