Waipukurau Race 1

THE CLUBS NAPIER THREE YEAR OLD MAIDEN

Prize Money: $16,818

MADISON (8) resumed from a short spell and finished runner-up on a heavy track at New Plymouth just over 3 weeks ago over 1400m. She is bred to get over more ground, and in a field that lacks any real depth, she is the one to beat. MOONBEAMS (10) will be peaking third up, and battled away well enough for fourth after setting the pace at Matamata last time out. She will probably be better over a longer trip once she strengthens up, but for now, she is still capable of producing a top 3 finish over a mile in this sort of contest. DARLIGHT PRINCE (1) was a sound runner-up on debut at Tauherenikau, and then ran on late for sixth at Waverley last time out. He has a good draw for his first run over a mile, and he can bounce straight back into the money. HAVANA LOVE (12) is heading the right way with her form, and she is capable of a top 3 finish in this field.

Opened his career in promising style two back with a minor placing at Tauherenikau. Disappointing in the follow up run two-and-a-half weeks ago when sixth over 1400m at Waverley. Cannot be sacked after one bad run.

Yet to place in two career runs but shows promise, including a last-start fifth over 1600m at Ellerslie. Coming along well and is worth including.
