Trentham Race 2 - CR GRACE LTD & WATERFORCE SPRINT
RONALDO (1) First up and strong effort to the line to win first up last preparation at Pukekura. Lining up against easier rivals. Good career start. Dropping in distance. Looks well suited in this race. VANTAGE POINT (3) First up. Went to the front and never looked back when winning by 1 1/2L last time at Waverley and will appreciate a good draw. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. MIDNIGHT DART (2) Tailed off to finish 10th last run at Wanganui on a heavy surface. Can make a comeback and can find a nice position from the draw. Has the ability to take this out. BELLASS (5) Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of a nose last run at Woodville but competing in a higher grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Can take this out.

Odds of $8.50 and lost ground in the run home when 10th last run at Wanganui. Can make a comeback and drawn nicely. Good chance in this.

First up from a break. Led from start to finish to win by 1 1/2L last time at Waverley and can save some energy from the gate. Will go close.

Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of a nose last run at Woodville but up in class. Expecting to settle positively. Can win.

Resuming after a break. Was nothing special when 10th last time here but challenged by weaker competitors. Has good finishing speed. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Betting is the best guide.
