Whanganui hosts a nine-race program on Saturday, with the track currently rated a Soft7 and the rail out 4m. A mostly clear forecast leading into raceday should allow the surface to continue improving, with conditions expected to return to something closer to a Soft5 by the opening race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Old Fashioned (#3) is a 2yo\u00a0<\/span>Proisir<\/span>\u00a0colt making his debut for Bill Thurlow and Sam O\u2019Malley. He has had just the one trial leading into this assignment, which came only 10 days ago, where he showed good gate speed before leading and kicking away nicely under Kelly Myers. Myers\u00a0<\/span>retains<\/span>\u00a0the ride here on\u00a0<\/span>raceday<\/span>\u00a0and similar tactics can be expected. A bold debut performance\u00a0<\/span>wouldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0surprise.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His recent trial was encouraging, finding the line strongly into 2nd, and suggests he has returned in good order.

Tick Tock Tessa (#10) comes into this off a 5th placing at Hastings, where she never appeared comfortable on what proved to be a testing Heavy track. Back onto significantly better footing here should allow her to return to\u00a0<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0better efforts prior.

Capaci (#3) heads here off a solid placing at New Plymouth, where she launched a promising bid along the fence before having to settle for 3rd. She looks well suited dropping back into R65 company and this race appears a touch easier than what she\u00a0<\/span>encountered<\/span>\u00a0last start.

Roc All Night (#5) was finishing strongly into 2nd here last start behind Shameless Star, where he was held up and unable to obtain clear running until the race was effectively over. He receives a significant swing in barriers for this assignment and maps to settle closer to the speed in a genuinely run race. Kelly Myers takes over the riding duties and should ensure he receives every chance from the inside gate. Looks the one to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Mojo Risin\u2019 (#2) did not have the race run to suit last start in Listed WFA company over a mile, where he was trapped wide and unable to work into the race from the outside draw. The drop back to 1360m looks much more suitable and he maps to settle on or near the speed this time around. Kelly Myers takes the ride from a favourable barrier and should have him positioned perfectly here. Expecting a much-improved performance.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Im<\/span>\u00a0Bartholomew (#5) resumed with a strong runner-up effort at New Plymouth, where he was finishing off powerfully from the rear of the field. He should strip fitter given he was 252 days between runs heading into that performance, and\u00a0<\/span>remaining<\/span>\u00a0at 1200m looks ideal second-up.

She now steps out to 2060m, which looks unlikely to pose any concerns at this stage of her preparation.
