Just got too far back at\u00a0<\/span>Motukarara<\/span>\u00a0last week but the prior runs of Jazzy\u2019s Upstart (1) signalled another win\u00a0<\/span>isn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0too far away with some\u00a0<\/span>really strong<\/span>\u00a0efforts.

No doubt the ability is there to win a maiden race like for Blaze Craze (2) and\u00a0<\/span>perhaps with<\/span>\u00a0three runs under the belt now it might happen. Even field and the barrier draw is\u00a0<\/span>a very good<\/span>\u00a0help. Would expect a confident drive to net a confident result.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

No manners the other day at The\u00a0<\/span>Mot, but<\/span>\u00a0getting back onto the grit today will be a big assist for Coba Charged (8). Start prior to the last one was in the NZ Pacing Derby, so sliding right back in grade. Best version of this field would win this race for fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

No luck at all in the last couple of runs for Almighty (8) but\u00a0<\/span>hasn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0been bad in either race as well. Wide draw here but if she can slot into a handy spot her Addington form would be good enough to win this race quite easily. A nice each way bet.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
