Michael McNab earned a great deal of praise after Force Of Nature (NZ) (Savabeel) won Sunday’s Inspire Racing Sprint (1200m), but the top jockey was quick to credit his mount who made a big impression when resuming in the Te Rapa contest. A lightly-raced four-year-old, Force Of Nature was appearing for the first time since late November, where he finished third in a competitive Stella Artois Championship Qualifier behind Frostfair. It was the lowest placing he had recorded all preparation, after winning two in a row through maiden and Rating…

Rotorua Stakes defence looms for enigmatic mare
Karman Line (NZ) (Myboycharlie) has proven to be an enigma for Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott throughout her career, but the Group Three winner was right back to her best when taking out the BCD Group 1400 at Te Rapa on Sunday. The daughter of Myboycharlie has mixed her form from the outset and while she won the Lisa Chittick Plate (1400m) and Gr.3 Rotorua Stakes (1400m) last term, she missed the top five in her opening four appearances this season, albeit in strong company. A fourth placing behind Chattahoochee…
Midnight Edition chasing stakes redemption after Te Rapa success
Midnight Edition (NZ) (Wrote) narrowly missed out on a feature three-year-old crown in December and he’ll have a shot at redemption in a fortnight after defeating a quality field at Te Rapa on Sunday. Midnight Edition caused a major market upset when dead-heating the Gr.2 Auckland Guineas (1400m) on Boxing Day, but was relegated to second position after an enquiry by the connections of Yaldi. The son of Wrote has been tested at a range of difference distances this campaign, but has found his sweet spot at 1200m, the distance…

Trainer Dom Sutton is planning to keep Gr.1 Australian Guineas winner Feroce (NZ) (Super Seth) to races up to a mile during this year’s Spring Carnivals, with the rich Golden Eagle set to be his major target. The three-year-old gelding is having a spell after finishing sixth in the Gr.1 Australian Cup at Flemington on March 29 in his first try over 2000m, which came against seasoned older horses at weight-for-age. A runner-up in the Gr.1 Caulfield Guineas last spring, Feroce’s autumn preparation was highlighted by his win in the…
