Rangiora Race 4

Kaiapoi Club/Morrisons Saddlery Mobile Pace

Stake: $12,500

MAJOR HAPPY (4) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 2000m at Motukarara. Primary contender in this comparable race. HEY TONIGHT (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2.75 metres from the winner in second over 1850m at Geraldine. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. RAZORS EDGE (14) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at Oamaru. ANYTIME AT ALL (13) cannot be ruled out but needs a bit of luck from the tricky draw.
