Te Rapa Race 6

FULTON HOGAN MILE

Stake: $40,000

MALBOROUGH BAY (5) has been racing well with some jumping trials sharpening him up. He was runner-up here 2 weeks ago over 1300m, and the extra 300m should suit him. Opie Bosson replaces an apprentice, and from a handy gate, he can go one better here. SOLDIER BOY (3) was a brave winner here in his penultimate start, and then was a game runner-up in the Opunake Cup at New Plymouth 3 weeks ago. He is up in weight, but in a good space, and can take this out. DIOMEDES (7) was back in winning form at Arawa Park thanks to a clever ride, and with Michael McNab getting down to 54kg being a good lead, he can repeat the dose. GOSPODIN (2) tried hard when weakening late over 1400m in the Opunake Cup 3 weeks ago. There is a query over the mile, but with a 4kg claim, he can't be totally ruled out of a top 3 finish. ROSETOWN PRINCESS (10) ran on too late here 2 weeks ago when finishing second. She is rock-hard fit, and is another who is worth including in all combinations.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on July 26 over 1300m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Force Of Nature with 54.5kg at $6.50. Before that won by a nose at this track July 5 over 1400m in the wet defeating Lotus carrying 57kg at $5.90. Shapes as a top chance on recent form.

Gelding back from a spell of 13 months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 11 at this track July 27 2024 over 2200m, in the wet; 5 len behind Hula Beat with 54kg at $10.70. When resuming last campaign second of 12 at Arawa Park May 11 2024 over 1560m, soft track; a head behind Casino Princess carrying 55kg at $49.90. Capable of a bold return.
