Te Rapa Race 1 - WAIKATO/BOP OWNERS ASSOCIATION 1300
SALTBURN (1) is a recent Victorian import who went close to winning a race this year and would have maintained some fitness levels with less than 7 weeks between starts. Hard to beat in this field. Use the market moves as your best guide. FEEL THE STAG (3) has won both of his tune-up trials last month and will have Michael McNab retaining the ride from those hitouts. He cops a wide draw and will have plenty of admirers on debut. Watch closely. MALLEABLE (2) only ran out of condition late when resuming with a fourth at Avondale just over 3 weeks ago, and he will be a lot sharper second up. Each way claims here. LITTERAL (7) is knocking on the door with a hat-trick of second-place finishes leading into this assignment. She has a tougher draw this time, but should pick up a win at short notice. RENAISSA (8) was runner-up as favourite on debut at Te Aroha, and will have Opie Bosson in the saddle this time. Follow your money.

Last start 6th of 9 at this track on July 26 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Mr Marigold with 55.5kg at $55.90. The race before that 8th of 10 at Te Aroha on June 22 over 1400m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Pixie with 54.5kg at $26.80. Hard to entertain on that form.

At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on July 23 over 1300m, 2 len behind Oban carrying 55kg at $13.60. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on July 10 over 1300m, 1.3 len behind The Exponent carrying 53kg at $11.40. Drawn well close to the inside so worth including.

Second-up. First start ran last of 11 at Pukekohe on March 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Sista Sugar with 55.5kg at $10.90. Returned from break 2nd of 7 at Avondale on July 16 over 1200m, on heavy track; nose behind Miss Understood carrying 54.5kg at $7.20. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.
