Rotorua Race 2

ATKINSON AND DONALDSON 1215

Stake: $20,000

PUROSANGUE (1) improved quickly from a fair run on debut to finish runner-up at Matamata last time out. A wet track is no problem, and he is nicely poised to go one better this time. CAPOTE (3) probably lacked some strength in his initial prep, and he looked a lot stronger when winning a recent trial under his own steam. Hard to beat here, especially on a wet track. FACILITATE (2) showed some promise in the spring, and his recent spell would have done him the world of good. He was too the fore at the recent trials, and with the aid of the pole position, he is good enough to win a maiden at short notice. SNEAKY CYCLONE (4) has changed stables since his last start in December. He has been thereabouts in a couple of recent trials, and he can sneak into the finish here.

Yet to break through in two runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 2.25 lengths back in second over 1200m at Matamata. Nicely placed to open his account.

Forward three-year-old gelding with two wins from two trials, most recently at Avondale over 800m. Strong trial form should stand up. Trial form suggests he will run well.

Resuming from a spell. Looking good at the track including a placing in his most recent trial at Avondale. Opened last campaign with a 11th at Ellerslie over 1200m. Might be better off following this run.
