Waverley Race 1 - WANGANUI MOTORS LTD
FRANCIE RULES (4) was put aside after a solid 4L 4th on debut in March. Back with 2 quiet trails before fighting on well from just off the pace here last month. Can go one better. EVENSONG (6) won a 1000m trial before her debut in a strong maiden at Hastings recently where she boxed on OK after a handy trip. Has claims here. ALL ON RED (1) ran on from well back for 5th in the same race as FRANCIE RULES (4) last start when stepping up to this trip 2nd-up. Better for that experience. AND SO WE PRAY (2) is a half to Eye Pea Oh ($200k) and won a 1200m trial late last month. Keep safe. DOLLY PARDON (7) not beaten that far in either of her well-spaced races to date. Can add some value from the pole here.

Three-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts at each appearance to date. Last time out finished fifth over 1400m at this track. Has been drifting back but winding up strongly. Should be tough to stop.

By the sire Bivouac and from the stakes-winning mare Tie Me Down. Recent trial winner at Waipukurau. Watch for any market confidence.

Encouraging first-up run when runner-up at this track over 1400m on September 27. Fitter and is a leading contender.

Started at $9.60 on debut at Hastings three weeks ago, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 1300m. Has ability and it will pay to stick with her.

Resumed over 1400m at this track last start and finished 6 lengths away in sixth. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.
