Ruakaka Race 4 - Hirepool (Bm65)

PERSIFLAGE (4) has been course-placed and this is the easiest field here she has met in her last two runs. Proven on dry and wet footing and in a very winnable race. RIDEFROMTHEASHES (3) is a class riser in this but he can cope. Well drawn yet again and looks to have more wins in store. SAKO (1) is proven fresh up and drawn well. Definite chance in this for your multiples. MOOD CHANGER (5) is proven fresh up. Ace barrier here. Chance in this to place or be first four. ELYSIAN FIELDS (2) is an improver on her fresh up run. Has placed before second up and has won on dry and wet ground.
