Ruakaka Race 3 - HIREPOOL
CEASARS PALACE (1) was well beaten in the G3 Northland Breeder's Stakes here just over 2 weeks ago, after finishing third on this track prior to that effort. It's a more suitable target this time, so he can finish a lot closer. Each way. ENDLESS NIGHT (4) makes his debut off the back of an impressive trial win at Avondale last month, and his stable usually has a fair bit of success on this track. Watch closely. ROSSELLA (10) was not bad on debut after winning a trial, and she has won another of those since that run in late April. Stick with her. ANGELS HALO (8) has an excuse last start off a wide gate, and despite drawing wide again here, she can figure in the top 4 at a nice price. LEAN ON ME (11) is not the worst at a price.

Came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish ninth last time out over 1200m at this track. Starts closer in this time. Sure to be prominent.

Son of El Roca from She Speeds on debut. Has only trialled once and was out of the placings. Makes debut on home track so is not to be underestimated first time out.

Had to contend with a wide alley at her latest run and finished out of the placings over 1200m at this track. Not a great draw again but capable of a bold run.
