Tevere back to her best at favourite venue
The love affair that quality mare Tevere (NZ) (Contributer) has for Te Rapa continued on the weekend when she recorded win number four from just six starts at the venue. The Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard-trained daughter of Contributer was sent out a warm $2 favourite despite a disappointing last start performance where she only beat two runners home in Listed company over 1400m at Awapuni in early April. Punters had no cause for concern in Saturday’s open 1200m contest as rider Michael McNab settled her beyond midfield in the…
Marsh doubles up at Te Rapa
A winning double plus four minor placings left Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh well pleased with his day’s work at Te Rapa on Saturday. Marsh produced the quinella in race four, the Wig Wilson Memorial Mile (1600m) with Osaka (NZ) (Makfi) and Masetto (NZ) (Cape Blanco) and repeated the dose in race 6, a rating 65 1200m contest with Laneway Flirting (NZ) (El Roca) and Windspeed (NZ) (Tavistock). Earlier talented sprinter Mega Bourbon (NZ) (El Roca) finished a game second to Tevere (NZ) (Contributer) in an open 1200m event, while exciting…

Price said a gallop at Cranbourne on Saturday morning convinced the trainer Jungle Magnate had recovered from his trip to Adelaide last week and was on target to take his place in the Derby (2500m) at Morphettville on Saturday. Jungle Magnate travelled to Adelaide last week to win the Gr.3 Chairman’s Stakes (2000m) and Price said the gelding knew he had had a run. “He’s bounced back…
Walker upbeat despite frustrating day at the Gold Coast
Mark Walker was still feeling upbeat on Sunday morning despite having to settle for the runner-up cheque with both of his runners at the Gold Coast on Saturday. Lightly raced four-year-old stayer Soprano Supreme (NZ) (Contributer) chased hard but came up just short when beaten by half a length in the Gold Coast Cup (2400m) behind fellow Kiwi-bred Stardome (NZ) (Savabeel), before talented three-year-old colt Sword Of State (Snitzel) went down in a head-bobbing finish to Prince Of Boom (Spirit Of Boom) in the Gr.3 Gold Coast Guineas (1200m). Walker…
