Tauranga Race 4 - QUICK COUNT MDN 1300
SPIRIT OF ARDSLEY (5) First race appearance 2yo by Noverre for trainer Rogan Norvall & Graham Richardson and gets the perfect barrier. Watch betting. BRASS MONKEY (1) Ran 7th last start here but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Won't be far away. ROC GODDESS (6) Was ordinary when 8th last start at this track but having second race start. The large claim from Joe Nishizuka helps. Keep in mind. LINTON FLYER (2) Well beaten when 10th last time at Te Aroha. Not out of this.

Was $4.00 and came in 7th last start at the track but having second career run. Likely to get back. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

Disappointing display when 8th last start at Pukekohe but has a positive draw. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Some respect.

First appearance at the races 2yo by Noverre for trainer Rogan Norvall & Graham Richardson and can save some energy from the alley. Respect the betting.

At $19.00 performed below standard when 8th last start here but was on debut last time. Joe Nishizuka takes a large claim. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
