Ruakaka Race 6 - 15 AUG CAMBRIDGE STUD NORTHLAND BREEDERS STAKES
SHE'S NO SAINT (7) had excuses fresh up at Ellerslie, and then made amends when well in the market there 8 weeks ago, scoring comfortably by over a length. She is perfectly placed with the same weight to carry, and she can repeat the dose. WALKIN IN MEMPHIS (1) showed talent through his initial campaign, and he will be resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good, and it is encouraging to see that Craig Grylls has stuck with him throughout. Hard to beat fresh up. FRAUDSTER (2) resumed with a gutsy run for second at long odds here 3 weeks ago. He strips fitter, and from a good gate, he can figure in the top 3 again. Just don't expect another fancy price. HONORABLE (3) was given plenty of time to get over his debut second at Matamata nearly 7 weeks ago, and he looked sharp at a recent trial. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. TIP TOP (12) makes her debut with Michael McNab in the saddle, and that is enough to perk our interest. Check the market.

Trialled before racing and then overcame difficulties in running to finish second on debut over 1050m at Matamata. Will take valuable race experience from that outing. Will be there at the business end.

Was an impressive winner at the trials prior to a solid first-up effort when beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Open to improvement and is a top 4 contender.
