Te Aroha Race 4 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES
EMMA TWIGG (9) is a well-bred three-year-old filly making her debut. By El Roca out of Megara, she hails from the powerful Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson stable and has trialled nicely, including a minor placing at Tauranga. Opie Bosson takes the ride, and she will be hard to beat. PORTLAND (2) worked hard and didn't quite see out the 1200m at Te Rapa last time out, finishing fifth. Her form prior was very good, and having 50m less to travel could make all the difference here. Stick with her. HELOISA (3) resumes after 4-and-a-half months. She has run her best races fresh up, and she will be a lot stronger this year. With a good gate and Warren Kennedy in the saddle, she will go close to taking this out. TREASURE HUNT (14) makes her debut from a good stable, and a wet track should be no problem. Check the market. HONOR THE NAME (1) is back for her second prep, and from a good gate in this sort of field, she will be worth including in all combos.

Dual acceptor. Thereabouts during her maiden preparation but didn't threaten to win. Resuming here off a break of four months. Solid top-three hope with race experience now on board.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when she finished fifth over 1200m at Te Rapa on February 7. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
