Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 A few runners that I thought were interesting this weekend , India at Te Rapa . 3 time winner over 2400 at Catterick Bridge . Low level track but some big stables send decent maiden fillies there to get head in front . Valachi and Cambridge Studs seem to be getting a few of these fillies down here from good staying families so good on them . This one half sister to Big Orange from a Stud that has been breeding good horses to race themselves for years .Distance should be way too short today though on known form . I like High Bridge in Sydney today , trip ideal could be his turn. Mega Heart ex Oh Romeo here from South Island and Tangmere the Frankel Karaka Sale topper from few years back should go well at Sha Tin tomorrow . I see Big Blue been scratched tonight at Cheltenham , was 33 to 1 . Looked decent ew value . Poms might be dismissing him bit early . He is decent chance of winning somewhere up there and could be at big odds .No chance at festival though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 That River Run in the first at Te Rapa looks interesting , two trials , second of which nice pointer, there is a few in this race though, one of which looks very progressive but from a stable reknowned for getting them up Sporadically . Worth a watch Red Rum 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOM 1,017 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 Agree Gruff, but also agree with the evenness of the field . Worth a go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 1,095 Report post Posted December 14, 2019 Did I hear India is in foal anyway so she's here to add to a breeding band rather than race. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as she's a three time winner already and related to a Champion stayer , must be a target race though as she was long odds to win over 1400 with her background . Owner don't need the prize cheque either . Possibly something over Christmas and New Year . I thought River Run was a BB run for next time .As for High Bridge he needs midweek grade again to get a win I'd say . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted December 18, 2019 Liquid inspiration... if this horse replicates that fresh up run at Pukekohe it will be tough to roll, havnt seen the line savaged like that in a while. A few good ones in there for the old girl to beat as well Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still available at 26s and 5s today at NP , that's pretty decent ew odds for her today over better trip . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
