New Plymouth Raceway Race 2 - ALLIE BLACK – GO-TO PERSON FOR KIWISAVER
LEDHAVEN CASSIE (6) drove hard late and finished runner-up as the favourite when resuming from a spell at Otaki 5 weeks ago. That run should have him spot-on for this assignment, and he is the one to beat. Follow your money. BELLATRIX (8) has had her racing well-spaced, and her last run was early 7 weeks ago. If she can race up to her trial form, then she can figure in the top 3 in a race like this. TSUNAMI SUE (14) has been improving at the trials, and she gets Craig Grylls in the saddle for her debut, and his combination with trainer Robbie Patterson has been very successful this season. Watch the market moves. VAN DAMME (5) has yet to run up to his good trial form, but he is third up, and he is worth another chance. Include.

Ran a better race second time out to finish eighth over 1300m at Pukekohe. Not far away latest and can place with further improvement.

Finished 7 lengths from the winner in seventh last start over 1100m at Taupo, his second unplaced effort in two career runs. Has plenty of upside and can improve sharply.

Unplaced on debut then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Waverley, finishing sixth after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to get off the mark this time.
