Westport Race 10

Adams Construction Limited Handicap Pace

Stake: $18,000

PICCADILLY PETE (6) scored at his last run just a couple of days ago over 3200m at this track, getting home by 7 metres. Has the talent to take care of this field. TEDS LEGACY (3) finished fifth last start, beaten 10 metres at this track over 3200m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. HOMEBUSH LAD (7) is as tough as they come and is the next best after finishing third over 3200m at this track last time out. GOT YOU COVERED (5) disappointed last time when sixth over 3200m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering in a small field.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Phar Lap Raceway, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 9th (Fr8) over 2000m at Motukarara, beaten 25 m by Tokyo Rose (2:30.80) in 4yo+ on November 24 at $41.60. Then last time 9th (Fr2) over 3200m at this track, well beaten by Piccadilly Pete (4:26.60) in 3yo+ on December 26 at $41.80. Would like to see him return to winning form before backing.

Three-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Rangiora. Last start posted a big 7 m win (Fr4) at this track (4:26.60) beating Xlendi in 3yo+ on December 26 at $4.80. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth behind Bryce's Meddle at Geraldine over 2850m on December 7 at $19.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Piccadilly Pete at this track over 3200m in a 3yo+ on December 26 at $8.90. Chief contender.
