Motukarara Race 2

Crate & Barrel Mobile Pace

Stake: $12,500

REVOLUTION (3) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 1.4 metres, in a nice return to form at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can find the winners' circle. ROCKINGOOD (9) finished eleventh last start, beaten 30 metres at Addington over 1980m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. A GIRL NAMED VINNY (1) produced a good effort on debut last start, finishing third over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Has plenty of scope for improvement. JENA (8) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Ashburton Raceway a week ago.

Two back was well beaten into thirteenth behind Lonnekers at Rangiora over 1950m in a 3yo+ on December 15 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Flying For Me at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m in a 3yo+ on December 22 at $2.40. Nice effort last time. Top chance in this line-up.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway, beaten 5.5 m by Didjaseemiki (2:05.00) in 3yo+ FM on December 22 at $4.40. At her previous start solid effort when 3rd (Fr8) over 1950m at Rangiora, beaten 1.1 m by Rakero Lightning (2:31.60) in 3yo+ FM on December 15 at $5. Look for improvement on last start. Rates highly and can do much better.

Solid performance when a close second behind Rakero Lightning at Rangiora over 1950m in a 3yo+ FM on December 15 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Didjaseemiki at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m in a 3yo+ FM on December 22 at $2.90. Racing well and should be in the finish again.

Three-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut 11th (Sr1) over 1980m at Addington beaten 30 m by Sweet Tartan (2:27.70) in 3yo+ on December 6 at $2.70. Looks very hard to beat with that run under his belt.
