| WEDNESDAY 22nd FEBRUARY 2012 - CANTERBURY Rail: +3m Entire Circuit MISS READY (Race 1, 1.15pm, 1550m, No. 8, rider Jim Cassidy, 54kg) Placed when first up last start this daughter of More Than Ready has stripped fitter from the run and is looking to break her maiden here. Will appreciate the step up in distance, always professional in her work, needs to produce it on race day. Place bet. RAMPAGING (Race 2, 1.50pm, 1250m, No. 8, rider Nash Rawiller, 56kg) An excellent debut performance by this precocious son of More Than Ready last start gives him every chance here. Blinkers come off, Nash jumps on and steps up to 1250 meters. Will be in the finish. VALERIO (Race 3, 2.25pm, 1100m, No. 11, rider Nash Rawiller, 57.5kg) By Strategic, out of a half sister to a Group winner in Our Bellition, this filly makes her debut here after one nice trial performance this prep. Sure to take plenty of improvement from the run, but don't be surprised to see her flash home late. Good each way chance. UPON THIS ROCK (Race 5, 3.40pm, 1900m, No. 2, rider Nash Rawiller, 58.5kg) Forgive last start when this mare by Fastnet Rock put herself in a tricky spot and couldn't go with them on the heavy track. A winner two starts back and twice placed over the trip, she will be competitive here. Include. RAIN DRUM (Race 8, 5.50m, 1250m, No. 4, rider Nash Rawiller, 58.5kg) This gelding by Fastnet Rock has hit the ground running with two impressive trial wins this prep. Scorched the turf in his work this week, will improve as the distances increase, but will be hard to beat first up in this. |
