Taupo Race 4 - WAIRAKEI GOLF AND SANCTUARY
GETUPOFFATHATTHING (1) Farnan 3yo on debut for Sam Bergerson & Mark Walker. Watch for a sign in the market. IMPERIAL ROSE (6) Fresh after a break. Ran 4th last time at Te Rapa. May see an upturn in form. Should come to hand quickly. Will be around the mark at odds. MALIKIA (9) First appearance at the races 3yo by Snitzel for Stephen Marsh. Betting is the best guide. TRULY DIVINE (5) First up from a spell of 25 weeks. Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd last time at Wanganui and stepping down to a lower level. Keep in mind.

First up from a break of 25 weeks. Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by nearly 2 1/2L last time at Wanganui and back in an easier grade. Capable type.

Odds of $3.50 and weakened under pressure when 8th last start at Te Rapa on a heavy surface but having second race start. Expected to settle towards the rear. Very minor chance.
