Tauherenikau Race 3 - SOUTHEY SAYER CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS MDN 3YO 1600M
DONATELLO (1) is a very promising maiden that steamed home late to finish runner-up behind a handy type here 17 days ago. He will keep on improving with further racing, and in this sort of field, he should be the one to beat. HAYWORTH (5) set the pace and weakened in the run to the line at Trentham 3 weeks ago, after finishing third at Waipukurau before that. She is still maturing, and she should be suited to this tighter circuit. Stick with her in a modest field. HEARTOFACES (7) is a staying bred filly who has been given plenty of trial experience. The Latta stable is in form, and the market moves will tell the full story. VINCERO (4) did nothing on debut and can only improve from that run. He is trained locally and is open to improvement. I LOVE LUCY (8) makes her debut in a very modest field, and she is one of many top 4 hopes.

Son of Ferrando from Classic Blonde on debut. Has had the benefit of three trials. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Settled towards the tail from a poor gate on debut and was never a factor when eighth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Jonathan Riddell is aboard again. Tough draw again but looks a chance.

Finished sixth on debut over 1200m at Woodville on November 2 and has not been produced since. Can improve sharply.

Four-start maiden who was tenth last start, beaten 6 lengths, over 1600m at Trentham. This looks a suitable assignment.

Filly by Turn Me Loose on debut. Purchased for NZD $ 5,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 2). Not far away in recent trial. Watch for any market confidence.
