Wanganui Race 1 - WANGANUI INSURANCE BROKERS MDN 1200
FEEL THE STAG (3) had to work a touch too hard on debut from a wide gate at Te Rapa 3 weeks ago, finishing fourth after hitting the front early in the run home. He looked good at the trials before that, and he should be hard to hold out in this. AMAZING SON (1) has been runner-up in both of his starts to date. He is on a quick backup, and dropping back to 1200m should not be a problem. The blinkers are on, and he can go one better. RUBIROSA (9) was well found in the market when finishing third on debut at Riccarton 4 weeks ago. He will be better for the experience, and on his home track, he can improve enough to take this out. MY FERRARI (8) showed pace to lead fresh up at Woodville, and he fought hard after being attacked all the way to finish third. He has the pole position and will continue to improve with more racing. BRADY (4) did nothing on debut at Otaki, but looked good when winning a trial since then. Include in all combinations.

Dual acceptor. Raced two times to date. At debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Hawera on August 10 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Humza Bey carrying 58.5kg at $11.30. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Hawera on August 23 over 1400m, on a wet track; 1.0 len behind Ready Response carrying 58.5kg at $2.50. Impressive of late. Will be hard to hold out again.

Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Hawera on August 25 2024 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Passenger carrying 55.5kg at $57.60. Looking elsewhere for the winner.

Four-year-old gelding (Toronado - Preventable). He has four recent trials prior to his debut today. Won his most recent trial at Foxton over 1000m on August 19. Should be primed to run well despite a tricky draw.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Trentham on December 7 over 1000m, 14 len behind Marokopa Falls with 57kg at $10.30. Returned from break 3rd in a small field at Woodville on August 17 over 1100m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Landman with 55.5kg at $5.60. Likely to measure up again with a repeat performance.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since she finished last of 13 at Trentham in the G1 Mnwt Sires Prod March 29 over 1400m, 10 len behind La Dorada carrying 55kg at $96.70. On debut fourth in a small field at Tauherenikau February 6 over 1000m, soft track; 4 len behind War Princess carrying 55.5kg at $2.10. Might be better off following this outing.
