Te Aroha Race 6 - PENCARROW STUD 1600
ASCENSION (7) stepped up to a mile second up at Te Rapa a fortnight ago and improved sharply to finish third, running on from well back. She stays at a mile, but can settle closer from a far better draw, and if the gaps come at the right time, she can have the last say here. SHEZ SHAMUS (5) was only claimed in the last stride at New Plymouth in her penultimate start, and then clung on for a nose win here nearly 4 weeks ago. She is still on the up with her fitness, and will again take some pegging back. Stick with her. UNWRITTEN (8) won her maiden here last start, and had something left in the tank at the finish when scoring by half a length. The step up to a mile will suit her, and she can take the next step immediately. FASTDEELDUN (4) got back further than expected at Te Rapa a fortnight ago and failed to run on. He will be peaking third up from a spell, and can make amends. Each way. CARISBROOKE CASTLE (1) ran on late fresh up at Tauranga, and he can run into the top 3 here.

Has not raced since scoring over 1800m at Taupo on September 17. Managed to fill a minor placing first-up last prep at Cambridge Synthetic over 1550m. Has the ability to run well.

Didn't inspire again last start, beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at Te Rapa. Better than recent form suggests and he can improve sharply.

Last two runs have only been moderate after winning three back at Avondale. Prepared to risk her again today.
