7 Rakamick <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A string of second placings in the last few starts tells the story of\u00a0<\/span>Rakamick<\/span>\u00a0(7) here today. Deserves a winning turn and should really get one here today too. Not as strong of a\u00a0<\/span>line up<\/span>\u00a0of rivals as some of the recent runs and will be driven confidently, so looks a strong bet to start the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

The form\u00a0<\/span>probably doesn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0tell the full story of La Familia (8) of late. Has been going a bit better than it reads.

Really strong introduction to racing by Hazel Grace (2) last time out when finishing second.

Sharp return to racing from Delphyne (7) last time out and looks set for a good campaign.

Still a bit of life left in the old boy judging by his recent efforts and with the right kind of luck Mr Cash Man (12) can certainly win this. Few to get around but he\u00a0<\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0mind that and if the speed is on in front of him, expect him to be charging at the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Superb effort first up from a spell by Utah Jazz (8) and looks set to pick up right where things were left off last campaign. Will need to be better again from the wide draw but if one of the more progressive pacers in Southland and that should show today.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
