FRIDAY 9 DEC. AT TAURANGA

Friday 9 December at Tauranga

Weather: raining, track: Soft6, rail: out 2 metres. 15mls rain forecast Friday.

1:08 p.m. R1 9 Tia d’Or (6 m Tavistock – Zarvana, by Zabeel) – Cameron Lammas; resumes in the $14,000 Rating 75 1400 metres, without a trial and treating it as such. A staying mare, she won debut over 1600 metres on good footing and no exposed form on wet tracks. Fixed odds: $12.00 & $3.00. Pictured

4:44 p.m. R7 15 Karapiro (3 g Tavistock – Aotearower, by Shamardal) – Cameron Lammas; was solid through trials stage, most recently when finding for second on 3 November at Matamata. Debuting in the $14,000 Maiden 1200 metres, his dam impressed winning over 1600 metres and grand-dam Kaatoon (Kaapstad) impressed winning the Sir Tristram Fillies Classic (Gr. 2, 2000m) and Lowland Stakes (Gr. 3, 2100m). Destined for further, but appears capable of bold first-up effort if appreciative of footing. Fixed odds: $8.50 & $2.70.

7:11 p.m. R11 12 Madame Le Fay (5 m Snitzel – Lady Le Fay, by Thorn Park) – Cameron Lammas; tailed off last before closing margin when resuming without a trial in the Rating 65 1200 metres on 19 November at Pukekohe, and steps up in the $14,000 Rating 65 1600 metres. She looked good winning on Soft5 over 1400 metres in May at Rotorua, course/distance placed at only attempt, and chance to improve with luck from wide draw (13). Fixed odds: $18.00 & $4.80.

Co-trainer Pam Gerard said: “Tia D’or is having a race instead of trialling, but just an outing to improve her fitness. She is an experienced mare, starting to look good, and should take plenty of improvement ahead of Christmas and New Year assignments.”

“Karapiro wants to get on with it and making his debut, despite facing rain-affected going. A short trip to the races and he should come on nicely for the experience. We have been happy with his work and he has ability.”

“Madame Le Fay has improved for her first-up run, which was really like a trial for her, and stepping up to a mile should suit. Hopefully the ground remains reasonable.”
