Thursday 30 December preview below

Good morning,

Just the three very well placed runners today below and all ridden by Leith Innes who is riding in top form.

Taupo

Race 2

Confidence: 3/5 1st $1.40 

12.Not Guilty  is bred to be good and based on his trials win at Ellerslie, is set to win on debut. he led there and kicked away strongly to win stylishly. His previous 2nd and win here left handed looked better suited to him so from the good draw, should get every chance. RP $1.70, $2.10 FF

Race 3

Confidence:4/5 1st $1.30 

8.Beldara rated very strongly in better fields last campaign and based on her very easy trial win at Ellerslie when eased off the pace and strode home full of running to win it, she has strengthened up and looks set for a very good campaign. RP $1.40, $1.50 FF

Race 5

Confidence: 3/5 1st $2.30 

4.Habana was a dominant winner last start with strong sectionals and ratings. Steps up a grade here but the two horses he beat have since won impressively. Has the breeding to win more and this should be his next one. RP $1.80, $2.30 FF
