Ruakaka Race 1 - BEN & NOLA WORTELBOER MEMORIAL RACE 1100
CASHLA BAY (4) ended her initial campaign with a solid run in Stakes company at Te Rapa and was not disgraced in ninth place. She will be a lot stronger now and is no doubt eyeing up some early spring features. On top. ELIZA JAMES (5) won easily on debut at Riccarton on a good track before struggling as an odds-on favourite there on an unsuitable heavy track a month later. She resumes on her home track and should be right in the finish. LOVE THE SORT (3) made a winning debut on the Cambridge poly track just over 6 weeks ago, and is likely to put herself right on the pace in this. She has plenty of scope and can remain unbeaten. PROSPER (6) won her debut 10 days ago at Cambridge over 970m, and to see her backing up so quickly is an encouraging sign. Craig Grylls steps into the irons, and from the pole position, she can repeat the dose. CONSCRIBE (7) was doing her best work late on debut here 3 weeks ago, finishing fifth. She will be better for the experience, and has top 3 claims.
