Taupo Race 6 - CENTRAL LIVESTOCK
BELLISH BOY (3) has kept on improving in each of his 3 starts to date, and was a game third at Waverley last time out when trying to make all the running. He has Opie Bosson in the saddle this time, and with the advantage of the pole position, he could take them all the way this time. THEONEWEKEPT (5) ran on late at New Plymouth last time out, and is likely to settle back over the same trip here. If he is not too far off them turning for home, then he can run into a top 3 placing. OUR SOLANA (7) resumed with a solid effort for fourth when needing the run at Te Rapa just over 3 weeks ago. She strips fitter and can figure in the finish here. Each way. ASTRUM (8) ran on too late over 1200m at Te Rapa last start, and she will relish getting out to 1400m here. Stick with her.

Showed good speed last start from gate 11 but weakened late to finish eighth over 1400m at Te Aroha. Better than the last run and worth another chance.

Four-year-old gelding on debut. Has had three trials leading into this, most recently finishing in the placings at Tauranga over 1100m. Can make an immediate impact despite an awkward draw.

Heading in the right direction. Last start finished 0.6 lengths away in third over 1400m at Waverley. Well placed and gets his chance to break through.

Yet to break through after two starts but hasn't been too far away, the latest effort a solid fourth over 1400m at Waverley. Among the better hopes.
