The Waikato Racing Club stage an eight race card at Te Rapa where the rail is out 6m on this 1800m left handed race track.
Best Bet – Westwood
Westwood is a speedy filly who finished second at this track last start over 1300m, she went straight to the lead, kicked clear with 200m to run but was out-run late by the race favourite. She has had five previous starts at this track for one win and four placings and in her third run this prep will be cherry ripe. Dropping back slightly in distance to 1200m today will also aid her winning chances.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#5 Westwood (4)
3yo Filly | T: Andrew Forsman | J: Wiremu Pinn (56kg)
$3.20 with Ladbrokes
Next Best – Tightlign
Tightlign at 9 years old is the veteran of the field but showed that he still has a win left in him when finishing a bold second over 1200m last start. He never gave up the chase to the line and the soft track here will suit him.
Next Best
Race 6 – 
#2 Tightlign (6)
9yo Gelding | T: S B Marsh | J: Triston Moodley (a4) (61.5kg)
$4.50 with Palmerbet
Best Value – Deep Beauty
Deep Beauty resumed from a spell last start to finish eighth of 12 runners but he was only 2.5 lengths from the winner. He has a good record second-up and has won his two career races at this track. With his jockey claiming 4kg as an allowance he rates as one of the better each-way bets on the card.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#1 Deep Beauty (11)
6yo Gelding | T: R James & R Wellwood | J: Triston Moodley (a4) (59kg)
$9 with Neds
