Rotorua Race 2 - THE ROTORUA CLUB 1230
FERNWEH (1) is resuming from a lay-off, has been sharpened with a trial win at Taupo on Oct 15. Expected to feature, especially with Opie Bosson in the irons. VIA FONTANELLA (6) settled at the back of the field and made up ground late when fourth at Taupo over 1200m last time out. She has the pole position this time, and can take it out. LADY WINDSOR (8) a debutant who looks ready to fire following a trial win over 1150m at Te Awamutu on October 22. Follow market moves. PRINCESS ROYAL (12) has had a number of unimpressive trials prior to debut today. Her stable is in form, and with Joe Doyle in the saddle, she is worthy of top 4 respect.

Went down by just 1.0 lengths when fourth at Taupo over 1200m last time out. Nicely drawn on the fence. Shapes as one of the key chances.

Dual acceptor. Did little on debut when beaten 7 lengths into 11th over 1200m at Pukekohe. Doubt he will trouble these.
