Tauherenikau Race 1 - LIQUORLAND MASTERTON & MATAHIWI VINEYARD MDN 2YO&UP 1000M
HIGH GOAL (6) makes his debut from a good gate, and he did win his only public trial at Avondale in December. He has enough speed to race on the pace, and he is sure to be hard to beat, especially if the money comes for him. SPARK (3) has made progress in each of her starts to date, and she resumes from a short spell that did her no harm. She won a recent trial at Foxton very easily, and she is sure to be well found in the market. Can win. MISS JANET (7) won her most recent of 2 trials by over 5 lengths. A good draw will help her, and the Marsh stable always have their team ready to race. Hard to beat. AMIRIA (5) did nothing on debut at Whanganui 4 weeks ago, and can improve with a drop in trip from 1200m to 1000m. Include in all top 4 combos. DARCI DIOR (4) ran on late for third here last time out, and she would not mind a wet track. Stick with her for all combinations.

Resuming. Raced just once when last in work and didn't make an impact, beaten 4 lengths into tenth over 1340m at Wanganui. Maybe later.

Unraced 3yo gelding who has trialled twice. Best trial form was when he won at Foxton on March 3. Don't rule him out.

Made her debut over 1200m at Wanganui last start and was well in the market but could only finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths. Expected to improve sharply.

Dual acceptor. Gelding by Sword Of State on debut. Profiles well for this being a son of the stakes winning mare Astor. Has very good trial form coming into this and is sure to run well.
