WEDNESDAY AT TAUPO

Taupo Racing Club at Taupo

As on Tuesday 10 October the conditions were: overcast and Slow8, rail true. 1.5ml rain forecast Tuesday, 3mls race day.

1.42 p.m. R2 3 Kane (5 m Darci Brahma – Dream Lass, by Dream Well) – Shaun McKay; worked up outside the leader and was collared on the line after establishing an advantage mid-straight in the Maiden Fillies & Mares 1300 metres here on 22 September, with McKay aboard. Likely to strike similar going in the $12,000 NZB Insurance Pearl Series Maiden 1300 metres, she meets a stronger field and has drawn wide but a touch of luck in running can see her right in it.

3.29 p.m. R5 9 Wonder Woman (4 m Showcasing – She’s Invincible, by Elusive City) – Jasmine Fawcett (a3); resumes in the $10,000 Rating 65 1200 metres. A winner on debut in June last year, she spelled in March after contesting Guineas and stakes races in the South Island, and although without a trial, due to wet weather and track conditions, looks in good order. A wide barrier makes it awkward, but weight relief to 54.5kgs and luck in running should see her go well. Pictured in image
