Te Rapa Race 6 - HENLEY PARK 1200
SHALABIYA (5) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Ruakaka and lining up against easier rivals. 1 win from 2 starts have come on soft ground. Must respect. THE SWEETEST SONG (7) Flew home to win last start at Cambridge Synthetic and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has a good draw. Taking on stronger competition. Serious player. WITH A VENGEANCE (1) Controlled the pace to win by a margin of 3/4L last time at Ellerslie and promising career start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. This field suits. PHILLYJEAN (8) Didn't find the line when 5th last run at Hastings but facing less formidable opponents. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Showing consistent performance in races. Can give this a shake.

Went to the front and never looked back to win by 3/4L last time at Ellerslie and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Good chance and definitely has claims.
