Tauranga Race 2 - HAPPY HIRE MDN 1400
HIP FLASK (1) is a 5YO gelding who was put aside after his debut second at Matamata in the middle of April. He does not have to beat much this time, and in the small field, he is the one to beat. CASA RUBICK (2) peaked on his fresh up run here just over a fortnight ago when having his first run in NZ after beginning his racing career in Hong Kong. The extra 200m is ideal, and he can take this out. WAVE RULER (4) has run the odd good race, and he likes a heavy track. He won't lack fitness, and should be a top 4 hope in the small field. SHE'S A SURPRISE (6) ran on nicely late when finishing fifth on debut 4 weeks ago. She faces a smaller field this time, and from a handy gate, she can figure in the top 3. STRALSUND (3) has not had all favours in both of his starts this prep, and he is open to further improvement.

Went for a spell after a good second on debut at Matamata over 1400m three months ago. Nicely placed to break through.

Encouraging first-up run when third at this track over 1200m on June 27. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Yet to fill a placing in five runs, most recently when 9 lengths back in sixth over 1400m at Te Aroha. Finds a suitable race and is worth including.

Didn't inspire again last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Arawa Park. Better than recent form suggests and he can improve sharply.

Didn't do a bad job last start when fifth on debut over 1200m at Matamata. Promising four-year-old mare who can take this out.
