Te Rapa Race 2 - DIRECT FATS & OILS 1200
REQUISITE (1) has been more genuine since being tried in front, and he is also getting stronger with each run. He has a good gate, and with 200m less to travel this time, he will be hard to peg back. MULBERRY GROVE (2) has looked very good at the trials, and has won the latest of those at Tauranga last month. He cops a tricky gate, but meets no world beaters here, and he can make a winning debut. WHISTLER (4) needed time to mature in his initial spring prep, and he looked in good condition when finishing runner-up in a recent trial. The ability is there, and his first win is not far away. SILKY SHUBA (8) ran some good races last prep, and her recent short spell would have done her the world of good. She won a Tauranga trial last month, and she will be ready to rumble fresh. TOPSY TURVY (10) only battled on debut after some good trial form. She has the pole position, and Craig Grylls keeps the faith. Follow any positive market moves.
