New Plymouth Raceway Race 2

JESSE LANGTON BUILDERS MAIDEN 2YO

Prize Money: $22,727

COOL IN COMMAND (3) was a hot favourite on debut after an easy trial win at Avondale, but failed to fire a shot, finishing at the rear of a 6-horse field at Te Aroha 3 weeks ago. He was reported not to have handled the track that day, so he is well worth another chance. Follow your money. HANDSTAND (1) fought on gamely to finish second in a 4-horse field on debut at Tauherenikau, and he would have naturally improved since then. There is more depth here, but he is still a top 3 chance. IN THE VINEYARD (4) was doing his best work late on a heavy track when finishing third in the same race as the top pick when making her debut. She benefits from a 3kg claim, only if Sam McNab can make that weight, and she can go one better. KING OF THE AIR (2) makes his debut from the powerful Stephen Marsh stable, and has the inform Jonathan Riddell in the irons from the pole position. Follow the market moves closely. POWHIRI (6) needed her debut run. Expect more here.

Impressive debut last start when second at Tauherenikau over 1000m. Will take a lot from that run. Nicely placed to open his account.

Went forward on debut last start over 1000m at Te Aroha and gave a sight but found a couple better, beaten 4.5 lengths. Expected to go well with that run under her belt.

Solid effort on debut, beaten a long neck into third over 1000m at Tauherenikau. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

Debuts after solid trial effort. Tougher assignment today and tempted to let her have this unless there's a betting push.
