Hastings Race 6 - THE FOXES @ NOVARA PARK HAWKE'S BAY GUINEAS
EXCITE (1) Claimed late when 3rd last time at Ellerslie and promising career start. Looks promising in this race. ASTURIA (10) Picked up nicely to win last time at Ellerslie and having second career run. Deserves consideration. FORTUNATO (2) Ran on strongly to win last time at Taupo and fitter for debut run. Should go close. OLD FASHIONED (3) Resuming after a spell. Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at Wanganui and was a debutant last start. Worth consideration.

Back from a break. Set the pace when winning by 1 1/2L last time at Wanganui and having second career run. Should jump out and bowl along. Has definite claims.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Ellerslie and having second race start. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
