It\u2019s Rotorua Cup Day at Arawa Park on Saturday, with the track currently rated a Soft7 for this nine-race card. Showers forecast ahead of raceday could see conditions deteriorate significantly, and it would be no surprise to see the surface slip well into the Heavy range by the opening race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midnight Train (#1) comes into this off a strong effort for 2nd in the Gr.2 Wellington Guineas behind Origin\u00a0<\/span>Of<\/span>\u00a0Love at Trentham. He\u00a0<\/span>hasn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0had all favours in his two runs since breaking through at\u00a0<\/span>Tauherenikau<\/span>\u00a0three starts\u00a0<\/span>back, but<\/span>\u00a0has still performed very respectably. Michael McNab taking the ride is a major positive and if he handles the\u00a0<\/span>possibly testing<\/span>\u00a0conditions, he looks the one they all\u00a0<\/span>have to<\/span>\u00a0beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Emac (#5) is a 3yo son of Eminent on debut for the Ben and Ryan Foote stable who showed marked improvement in his latest trial. That was his first experience on Heavy footing and he appeared to relish it, leading throughout and kicking away comfortably late. From the low draw, Matt Cartwright should be able to adopt similar tactics here and he looks capable of giving a bold sight on debut.<\/p>\n

Tonia\u2019s Dragon (#5) resumed with\u00a0<\/span>a very good<\/span>\u00a0effort at Avondale, where she settled handy and only went down late into 2nd on a Heavy track that day. She should strip fitter for the outing and looks ideally suited at 1215m on what\u00a0<\/span>may be a testing surface<\/span>. Joe Nishizuka\u2019s 3kg claim is a positive and I expect\u00a0<\/span>they\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0look to utilise his claim and roll forward again here.

\n

Loch Katrine (#9) resumes here after finishing 4th over 1950m here back in December. Her recent trial was encouraging, settling back before finding the line strongly under little pressure. Michael McNab partnered her in that hit-out\u00a0<\/span>ant<\/span>\u00a0the trials and\u00a0<\/span>remains<\/span>\u00a0aboard here.

\n

War Queen (#10) comes here third-up after a strong effort for 2nd behind Sweet Smile at Ellerslie, where she found the line nicely near the fence. She should take further improvement from that run and while Craig Grylls comes off, George Rooke is a more than capable replacement. She maps to get a lovely run following the speed from the low draw and looks well suited if conditions deteriorate. Hard to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Squire (#1) has continued to improve with racing this campaign and was rewarded with a gritty staying win at\u00a0<\/span>Te<\/span>\u00a0Rapa last start over 2400m. His staying ability came to the fore late there and another testing track should play right into his hands again here. Jack Taplin\u2019s 3kg claim is a big assist and he looks capable of making it back-to-back wins if the track does become testing.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pacheco (#11) has returned in solid order this campaign, grinding away well to the line in both runs despite being short of his preferred trip. The step up beyond 2000m third-up looks ideal and the likely testing conditions should suit him perfectly. With recent race fitness on his side, he appeals as a strong each way chance in an open edition of the Rotorua Cup.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rareza<\/span>\u00a0(#15) resumed with an eye-catching effort in the City\u00a0<\/span>Of<\/span>\u00a0Napier Sprint, working home strongly from the back into 6th. She should improve sharply second-up and looks much better suited on a Heavy track, which she is likely to get here. The slight knock is that she is poorly placed at the weights as a R79 mare under WFA conditions, but at the price she looks\u00a0<\/span>an each<\/span>\u00a0way contender in a competitive field.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She looks likely to receive a similar setup here and appears capable of handling the rise in grade with a repeat of that performance. Michael McNab\u00a0<\/span>remains<\/span>\u00a0aboard from a favourable draw and if the track is very testing by the last, she should be right in her element again.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
