Rotorua Race 2 - VAN DYKS 1400
BELLARISTA (7) finished eighth last time out over 1200m at Ellerslie when resuming from a spell. Plenty of improvement to come. Won her Maiden second up. Stable is flying. ORTEGA (4) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a neck over 1200m at Matamata. Has won second up. Best on wet ground. Impossible to omit. RENOVATIONS (6) led fresh up and was run over into a distant second. Trifecta and first four must. RIBKRAKA (3) was an encouraging effort last start. Well drawn again. A placing or the first four is possible. LISTENING (8) was an easy winner fresh up. Has more success to come for certain. This filly has upside galore.
