Te Rapa tips and results

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.30 · E M Leighton

Dancin In The Dark brings reliable BM75 form with a solid 3rd on Soft6 last start over 2100m. Wet-track ability and ideal barrier for a midfield role under the expected slow tempo give him each-way claims. Lacks the track-specific edge of Charlbury and the current winning momentum of With Grace but is honestly handicapped and maps well.

Our price $3.80 · SP $6.50 · Ethan Jones

Facilitate brings the clearest recent form in this maiden, finishing a close second after leading on Heavy ground last start and holding three soft-track placings from four attempts. Soft 6 drying conditions play to his wet-track pattern.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.90 · G Rooke

The James & Wellwood yard with George Rooke (18% combo) typically extracts sharp second-up improvement. Barrier 5 and the Soft 6 surface give her every chance to take a marked step forward in a winnable maiden.

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · C J Grylls

Dahlia Amped is open to further improvement third-up after a Heavy placing and a subsequent Soft 6 fifth from a wide gate. Craig Grylls is a positive booking and the horse maps with unknowns who can settle handy in a slow race.

Our price $3.80 · SP $5.20 · Tom Wigram

Clear form standout dropping from Group company into a maiden. Three soft-track placings including G2/G3 thirds and a competitive G1 run. Carries only 52kg first-up with a prior first-up placing. Soft 6 and 1200m suit perfectly; class edge should prove decisive if fitness is there.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.10 · G Rooke

Honest mare who led and stuck on for third at this track on Soft last campaign. Draws barrier 2 first-up and has shown she handles the going.

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.20 · S T Collett

Consistent improver who has led and fought hard for minor placings in her last two, including a Soft 1200 third. Draws well and Collett is a positive booking.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.60 · W B Kennedy

Victor Tango maps as the clearest form horse for Soft 6. Fresh from a solid BM75 fourth, the class drop into BM65 plus proven wet finishing strength outweigh the midfield draw. Most likely winner on pure form and suitability.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.30 · C J Grylls

Amusement brings the most reliable recent form: second over 1200m Soft 6 at this track and grade three weeks ago. Soft record is genuine and barrier 4 plus Grylls booking allow a perfect on-pace trip under the expected slow tempo. Highly consistent wet performer who should be right there again.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.70 · W F Pinn

The Group 2 drop is enormous and the stable rarely sends them unready. Long spell and wide gate temper win confidence, yet the talent ceiling keeps him a top-three chance if he handles the first-up run.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.20 · M J Mc Nab

Second-up after a solid first-up 5th and maps midfield. Soft 6 is ideal and she has the class to feature, though the wide gate and preference for longer trips temper win confidence slightly versus the track specialists.

Our price $14.00 · SP $25.10 · Jack Taplin

Highest-class runner with a Group 2 win and seven Soft victories. Maps on-pace from barrier 4 in a slow race and drops in grade.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.20 · W F Pinn

Our price $7.50 · SP $14.00 · M Hashizume

Autumn Heights stormed home from last to win her maiden over this exact track and distance on Soft 6 three weeks ago. The progressive profile, retained jockey and favourable draw give her genuine claims to measure up at BM65 level. Strong each-way/place chance with upside if the Soft holds.

Our price $9.50 · SP $22.80 · A Lawson-Carroll

Capitulate is lightly raced and open to sharp improvement. He overcame a wide trip to win his maiden on Heavy last start and draws perfectly today.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.90 · Abinith Simon

Still a strong place chance if she controls early without pressure. Form case solid but not superior to the class dropper.

Our price $8.00 · SP $17.70 · C J Grylls

Overlooked Te Rapa wet-track specialist with outstanding local record and consistent Open form on Soft/Heavy. Wide draw and backmarker role become positives under the very fast tempo that will collapse leaders.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · M J Mc Nab

Miss Understood is the clear form horse after winning the corresponding Te Rapa BM75 last start on Heavy 8, charging from midfield. McNab’s 2-from-5 record on her and the mare’s 62% place rate give confidence. Soft 6 is a mild query versus her heavy record, yet the drying track still holds moisture and her tactical versatility suits the moderate tempo. Barrier 12 is the main negative but she overcame similar maps previously.

Our price $6.50 · SP $12.30 · Kyle Wilson-Taylor

Ribkraka brings the strongest soft-track and Te Rapa credentials, having won over this course and distance on Soft 7 and placing in recent BM75s here. Barrier 5 and a midfield map suit the moderate tempo and soft lean toward handy runners. Top weight is a query yet he has carried it competitively. Clear each-way appeal as the most reliable wet-track local.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.50 · M Hashizume

Empirical is a lightly raced progressive gelding who won first-up this campaign on Heavy and is a perfect 1-from-1 second-up. Soft/heavy form is already proven and the 55.5kg plus barrier 1 give map advantages under moderate tempo. Distance rise to 1400m and BM75 step are unknowns, yet the upward trajectory and wet suitability make him a strong place chance and winning threat.
