Ruakaka Race 1

NAI HARCOURTS WHANGAREI

Prize Money: $31,818

SCOLERA (5) has been racing her way into full fitness and form on the Cambridge poly track, and from a good draw, she will be right in the finish again. Each way. DURRANI (6) ran on late for fourth behind the top pick in the same race here a fortnight ago, and he did get in the final stride at Te Rapa over this trip in his penultimate start. A wet track would suit this mare, and she is holding her form nicely. Include. KOHEROA (3) resumes from a spell for a new trainer, and he has won a recent trial to get ready for this assignment. If he can run up to his earlier form, then he will be a top 4 hope in this. NICCONI COUNTY (1) made it 2 wins on the bounce when winning here easily 3 weeks ago. An extra 3kg won't stop him from another big run.
