Ruakaka Race 4 - ITM/GIB
LATOYA (10) 2yo debutant sired by Proisir for Ken Kelso & Bev Kelso. Keep your eye on the market. TOP MARKS (7) 2yo by St Mark's Basilica having first start for Colm Murray & Shaune Ritchie. The large claim from Tom Wigram helps. Watch early betting. URCHELLA (8) First up from a 34 week break. Picked up late ground when 3rd last start at Riccarton Park and putting a tidy record together. Up to these. PELLARGO (2) Came in 5th last time at Ellerslie. Worth strong consideration.

Jumped at $26.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last time at Te Rapa but fitter for debut run. Struggle to recommend.

Started $31.00 and looked flat when 7th last start at Ellerslie but was on debut last time. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Odds of $15.00 and clearly outclassed when 9th last run at Tauranga. Seems very unlikely.
