Ruakaka Race 6 - CAMBRIDGE STUD NORTHLAND BREEDERS STAKES
KINNAIRD (1) saw the wheels fall off at the end of his juvenile campaign once he struck some wet tracks, and he will be a whole lot stronger this season. A good track is what he needs, and he will be ready to rumble fresh up in this. SONAR (3) finished in line with the second pick in the same race last time out, and he was a nose winner on debut before that at Te Aroha. He has a good draw, and can figure in the top 3 in this. STATE OF VALOUR (4) resumes from a spell after putting in some big runs as a juvenile in hot fields, including a third at G1 level. He has had a couple of tune-up trials, and despite a wide gate, he is up to winning this. SHE'S NO SAINT (6) followed up her game win at Ellerslie with a demolition job here 2 weeks ago. She carries the same weight, and she can measure up in this as well.
