FIVE RUNNERS AT TE RAPA

Fortaleza (pictured) kicks us off at Te Rapa tomorrow on a Slow 7 track in the Iplex Pipelines NZ 1600, jumping from barrier 15 with Cameron Lammas aboard.

Stepping up to the mile which should suit, as should track conditions. She does have a tricky barrier draw to contend with though she is in excellent order, very fit and has produced some fantastic lead up work. With luck in running we expect to see her up there in the finish.

Avec Moi runs in the Balance Agri-Nutrients 1400 jumping from barrier 6 with Cameron Lammas aboard.

Stepping up over ground here but still short of her best trip. Meets a smart field but she has good gate speed and the nice draw should see her handy in the running to finish off in the mix on the line.

Three stable mates strike a strong looking field when they take their place in the Ebbett Toyota 1600.

Ali Baba jumps from barrier 1 with Chris Johnson aboard.

Resumes after being freshened-up. Conditions should suit and the nice draw will allow him to race handy. Johnson will certainly be looking for the win as he looks to win the premiership.

Saffron Lady jumps from barrier 12 with Cameron Lammas aboard.

Comes off a good last start run for second at this track where she was a shade unlucky. Wide barrier should not be a hindrance and we anticipate her handling the conditions. Comes in great order and if she brings her A-game it would not be a surprise to see her go one better today.

Keep On Coming jumps from barrier 2 with Alysha Collett aboard.

Stepping up over ground, nice barrier draw and if she can get through the conditions well enough to produce that blistering turn of foot she should figure up there in the finish.
