Rotorua Race 5 - THE ROTORUA CLUB 1400
BEABOPALULA (8) made some progress this season, and her recent spell would have done her no harm. She has trialled up recently, and a wet track is no problem. Follow the market moves. HAPPY TRAVELLER (6) has run on late in both of her starts this prep, and the extra 250m is just what the doctor ordered for her. Include in all top 4 combos. WAVE RULER (1) battled on late to finish third when resuming, and he will have no trouble with a heavy track. He strips fitter, and can figure in the top 3 again. GETAWAY (5) won her latest trial very easily, and she is bred to handle wet ground. Follow the market moves. KENWOOD HOUSE (13) will be peaking third up, and in this field, he is worth including in all combinations.

Resumed from a spell last start and did well to finish third over 1200m at Matamata. Shaping up nicely and can play a role in the finish.

Dual acceptor. Unraced 3yo filly who has trialled twice. Strongest trial form was when she won at Ellerslie on April 7. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Lightly raced galloper who has been well held at both runs this prep. Finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last start over 1150m at Te Aroha. Fitter for recent racing and is one of the main contenders.

Kicked off her career with a moderate seventh, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m at Pukekohe three weeks ago. Must do a lot more.

Dual acceptor. Could only manage seventh over 1400m at Pukekohe last start to continue a run of ordinary form. Well placed and can do much better.
