Tauherenikau Race 2 - CENTRAL ITM MDN 1000M
DANCING SHADOW (2) tried hard when finishing fourth here a month ago over this trip, and in a field that is lacking depth, he will be hard to hold out, especially with Bruno Queiroz keeping the faith. DUNCANNON (3) is a stablemate of the top pick who will be making his debut with the advantage of the pole position. He won his latest of 3 trials this season, and should go close to taking this out. CHILL FACTOR (1) has changed stables after failing to fire in 2 starts on heavy ground. He is unbeaten at the trials, and maybe a change of scenery can bring the best out of this gelding. Check the market moves. FALCRESTS BELLE (4) is another with very good trial form, and she has finished third in both of her starts this season. She has had a couple of gear changes and is good enough to win a race at short notice. EBONY GEM (5) won a trial for her new trainer prior to finishing midfield at New Plymouth 5 weeks ago over 1200m. She is worth another chance over this shorter trip. Each Way.

Handy gelding who finished fourth last start but was beaten only 2 lengths over 1000m at this track. Among the top chances.

Three-year-old gelding on debut. Has had four trials leading into this, scoring most recently at Woodville over 1000m. Importantly has a nice gate and can make an immediate impact.

Was safely held on debut last start, finishing 8 lengths adrift in seventh at this track over 1400m. Kept ticking over with a fifth in a trial since that run. Has upside and can sneak into the finish.
