Motukarara Race 3 - SAVE THE DATE B.P.T.C. SPONSORS' NIGHT 18 AUGUST 2026 PACE
CARLIN (3) Honest race when 2nd last time at Mount Harding. Worth consideration. QUICKER THE BETTOR (8) Was fighting out the finish when winning last run at Mount Harding. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. DOCTOR TIM (10) Finished 3rd last run at Manawatu. Can surprise and by no means out of it. ARCHER (4) Tidy run when 2nd last run at the track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Honest enough to be an each way player.
