Te Rapa Race 5 - TAB 1200

PARTY TIME (10) stuck to her task gamely fresh up at Ellerslie nearly 3 weeks ago, peaking late, and finishing third less than a length from the winner. She cops another wide gate, but with Michael McNab picking up the ride, she should be among the hardest to beat. RIOJA (11) has been given time to mature, and has been showing plenty of promise in her short career to date. She may already be wanting more ground, but with a couple of trials under her belt, she will be ready to rumble fresh up. MAGIC CARPET (1) did not race up to expectations in some hot 3YO fields earlier in the year, but his spring form was very good. He has trialled up twice, and must be kept safe in all top 4 combos. NAVY ENSIGN (2) made plenty of progress as a 3YO, and he is all set for another good season after winning a recent Ellerslie trial. If he doesn't need the run, then he can figure in the top 3 fresh. WISE CHOICE (6) won his maiden here by a nose nearly 9 weeks ago. Stick with him.

Was thereabouts two starts back but didn't impress last start when 11th over 1200m at Ellerslie. Good enough to turn things around.

Broke his maiden status six weeks ago at New Plymouth Raceway over 1200m, getting home by 0.5 lengths. Has not raced for six weeks and will find this much more testing.

Did a good job last start to finish just 0.8 lengths away in third at her first run back over 1100m at Ellerslie. Has a solid strike rate and is a winning chance.
