Gore RC - Preview - 10th October
Riccarton trainer Shane Marr has a strong team entered at Gore on Sunday including; Faaltless, Miss Lisadell, Masons Run, Jardena, Mt Difficulty and Inquisition.
Faaltless (R Hannam) can overcome a good field in the R85 1355m; after a profitable winter campaign the 6yo put in a top effort for seventh in the Winter Cup. Slip Stream (K Williams) was an impressive winner here last month for Leda McNeilly and will have deserved support. Lisa Vaughan’s Our Bee Jay (A Mundy) put in a big run here on a heavy track when resuming behind Acquit. Acquit (Johnson) went another good race last week for Kerry King. Fly Solo, Roseline and Scarlet Fever are also well capable of featuring in the finish.
Masons Run and Jardena give Shane a two pronged attack in the R85 2000m. Masons Run (Hannam) is in good form, his only failure recently was in a better field than this. Jardena (Izuan) ran on ok her in her last couple and has a good course and distance record. Trilogy (D Stackhouse) won her Maiden here in heavy going last month and another big run is expected for Rangiora trainer Lester Morris. Viva La Danske (Walsh) put up a tough showing here behind Power Pack and trainer Nikki Blatch will be hoping for another heavy track.
Mt Difficulty (Izuan) will have to show his best to beat Royal Tap and Kincaple Princess in the 3yo 1200m. Royal Tap has impressed in both his starts prior to racing wide in the Wanganui Guineas for Kerry King. Kincaple Princess (Hannom) deserved her win at Motukara last month after some solid efforts through winter for Neil Coulbeck.
After two good efforts this season on the heavy track at Riccarton Miss Lisadell (D Walsh) will be favoured to take out the Maiden 1200m. Gussie Boy put in a decent effort here on debut for local Ellis Winsloe and stuck on well last week behind Justjohno. Ellis also has Mangaroa Prince lining up in the Maiden 2000m; this Golan 5yo went a good race here behind Trilogy in his southern debut last month. La Confidante (Bates) Ballyrina (Johnson) both run well at Ascot fresh up and are better suited to this distance.
Kelly Thompson has two good chances in the 1 win 1355m with in-form runners Golden Spot and Phil Wenneck. Golden Spot improved four wide last week and fought strongly behind Orlov. Phil stuck on well in a R80 last week after his good Maiden win here. Seth’s Blessed, Just Johno and Prince Of Thieves are other leading hopes.
The R70 2000m will be keenly contested; Brian and Shane Anderton’s mare Leeward Prevails (Shankar) has been hitting the line strongly in recent times and looks suited to this distance. Power Pack (M Carston) was a dominant winner here in a R75 last month for Greg Wright and went another strong race last week over 1550m. Gigi Rox (K Williams) has been good in her last five outings for Paul Harris and will be hard to leave off trifecta tickets. Joint Effort (Izuan) went super over the hurdles this season and trainer Allan Stalker will be hoping for another wet track. Lord Matua (Robinson) put in a tame effort at Motukara but was in solid form prior for the Didham’s.
Copperhead Road (Mosely) battled on strongly again last week behind Orlov and can score deserved win in the R70 1200m for Jack Gordon. Beijing Gold (Walsh) had excuses when a soundly beaten favourite at Motukara last start for the Sargent team.
O’Reilly filly The Dewdrop will be well backed after producing two tough efforts on race day for Steve Anderton. Walter Mac put in a big run here behind Phil Wenneck and battled on well last week. Mr Trimbole and Petty Lane both battled on ok here fresh up and showed enough last season to be considered.
