New Plymouth Raceway Race 4 - LINDSAY THOMSON – A CAREER OF TRUSTED CLIENT INVESTMENT
IN THE VINEYARD (6) is a progressive juvenile filly heading in the right direction after finishing in the money in each of her 2 starts to date. A firmer surface won't bother her, and with a handy 3kg claim, she is well placed to take this out. RONALDO (3) is a local colt making his debut off the back of a couple of trial wins, the latest of those at Foxton by a wide margin. Craig Grylls combines with Robbie Patterson, so respect the market moves. EXCITE (2) makes his debut after winning his sole public trial by well over 2 lengths at Pukekohe last month. He has a good gate, and if not too green, he can make a winning start to his career. ANDALUSIA (7) was given a freshen up after a modest effort on debut at Ellerslie in the spring. She has had a recent quiet trial, and can spice up some top 4 combos.

Won his only trial by 2.5 lengths at Pukekohe on January 20. Inside barrier will assist chances. A top-three finish wouldn't surprise.

Caught the eye winning a barrier trial by a big space at Foxton over 1000m on February 3. Should pay to follow.

Settled towards the tail and failed to make an impression on debut last start when fifth, beaten 17 lengths, over 1000m at Te Aroha. Steps out over more ground this time. Better for that experience and can improve sharply.

Stepping out on debut here. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.

Has finished midfield at both starts to date, the latest when second over 1200m at this track on January 24. Hard to beat on current form.

Returns from a break. Ran fourth in a trial at Pukekohe. Raced just once last prep and finished sixth at Ellerslie over 1100m. Capable of a bold return.
