Hawera Race 4 - DUNLOP INSURANCE MAIDEN 3YO 1400M
KING JAKKAL (1) has attracted market support in each of his 2 recent outings, most recently finishing a close fifth over 1400m at Otaki nearly 3 weeks ago. He has needed time to mature, and he may have found the right field here. Stick with him. SCARLETT SPELL (5) was disappointing over 1600m at Ellerslie last time out but had been narrowly beaten at the same track prior. Dropping back to a shorter trip will suit her, and from a superior gate, she can bounce straight back into the money. TSUNAMI SUE (7) made an encouraging debut when finishing strongly for third over 1100m at New Plymouth. With natural improvement, she should be included in all top 4 combos. TSUNAMI SUE (7) is a big each-way chance. MAJOR HOULIHAN (10) can cause an upset at big ods.

Has just missed the top-three at his last few runs, the latest a fifth over 1400m at Otaki, beaten 1.75 lengths. Capable of testing this field on his best efforts.

Freshened since he raced on speed but faded to finish midfield over 1400m at Tauranga on January 2. Among the chances.

Started at a big quote on debut last start and reflected that lack of market confidence when 12 lengths back in seventh over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway. Better for that experience but prefer to see him again.

Well into her prep now. Finished sixth last start over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway when she had to contend with an awkward barrier. Fares better at the draw this time. Capable of a big run.

Rarely far away at this trip. Three-start maiden who finished tenth over 1600m at Ellerslie last time. Best efforts give her a live chance.

Trialled well and then was a respectable third on debut at New Plymouth Raceway over 1100m. Expect improvement on that effort. Expect her to run well.

Filly by Proisir from Sentito on debut. Fitter for a recent trial placing. Profiles well and a bold run is expected.

Maiden galloper in first campaign. Has been out of the money recently including last start when seventh over 1400m at New Plymouth Raceway five weeks ago, beaten 8 lengths. Worth following up.

Three-year-old filly on debut. Has trialled okay heading into this. Jumps from a favourable gate so worth watching for any market confidence.
