Tauranga Race 2 - LASER PLUMBING WAIHI BEACH 3YO
O'VALERIE (5) coasted up to them at the bend and made up a stack of ground in the run home to win narrowly at Te Aroha last start. Consistent type and looks hard to beat. SHAMBO JACK (1) is a lightly raced gelding who was beaten 5 lengths into ninth last start over 1400m at Te Rapa. Expected to show up here. I PROMISE (2) pushed on from the wide gate to lead and that is where he stayed all the way home at New Plymouth over 1200m. He will be hard to peg back again. BILLECART (8) was midfield on settling and travelled well to the turn turn and picked up impressively and was only narrowly beaten at Pukekohe. Include in all combos. TE ENCUENTRO (4) resuming from a spell and fitter for a recent trial at Te Awamutu. Keep safe.

Lightly raced gelding who was beaten 5 lengths into ninth last start over 1400m at Te Rapa. Sure to measure up here.

Justified the market confidence on debut last start and scored by 1.75 lengths over 1200m at New Plymouth Raceway. Has ability and another bold showing is expected.

Has looked good in her three career starts, most recently scoring by 0.1 lengths over 1150m at Te Aroha. Solid top-three hope.

Solid effort last start when resuming, beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1200m at Pukekohe. Should hold the form and she appeals as one of the hardest to beat.
