Te Aroha Race 3

TAYLOR PERRY INSURANCE NZB MEGA MAIDEN

Stake: $25,000

NAVY ENSIGN (7) is overdue for his first win after finishing runner-up in all 4 career starts to date. He has been freshened up, and he finds the right race here. He should go close to getting the job done this time. On top. FORCE OF LAW (2) ran some good races early into his prep last season, and he will resume from a decent spell as a much stronger gelding. He has had a quiet trial and will be ready to rumble, especially with Opie Bosson in the irons. Check the market. SISTER CYNANE (8) has yet to live up to her million-dollar-plus price tag as a yearling, and she has finished third in both of her runs this season. She should pick up a win at short notice, and another honest effort is expected. ICELAND POPPY (9) fought on and only peaked late on her effort over 1200m at Waverley 2 weeks ago. She cops a wide gate, but with some luck, she can bounce straight back into the money here. NASHA MALA (10) ran out of condition fresh up at Matamata. Stick with her on an each-way basis.

Yet to miss the top three in two runs at this distance. Last time out finished second over 1400m at Tauranga. Progressing well. Has strong claims.

Has been solid in two runs following a spell. Most recently finished 2.25 lengths away in third two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Matamata. Ready to peak at the third run in. Hard to beat.
