Matamata Race 5 - GREGORY EQUINE 1400
MORE BLISS (5) was put aside to mature after 2 very solid runs in the spring, where she hit the line strongly in each run. She resumes without a public trial, but she will be trying 1400m for the first time, so watch for her to be steaming home late. Follow those market moves. BELLA CHICA (8) is a local filly making her debut from the leading Walker/Bergerson stable, and she has turned a corner in her last couple of trials. She will want more ground than 1100m, but from the pole position, with Michael McNab in the saddle, she will be ready to rumble. ARRAZOLA (7) fought on well enough to finish fifth on debut here just over 3 weeks ago. She cops a tougher gate, but Craig Grylls sticks with her, and so do we. LAST WISH (4) was upset pre-start at Pukekohe last time out and ran accordingly when finishing well back. She is better than that, and she can make amends. Each way. SHOW MERICAN (1) made progress last year, and she will be even stronger this year. She has top 4 claims here.

Last appeared 12 weeks ago when she finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1560m at Arawa Park. Don't dismiss lightly.

Missed the frame two back when 11th at Te Aroha but turned in a better effort last time to finish in the money over 1400m at this track. High among the chances.
