NZ - Te Aroha - Race 1

BERRETTINI (9) had a tough trip on a heavy track at Pukekohe 4 weeks ago and did not finish his race off as expected. He will be better for it, and with 10lbs less to carry, he will go close from his good draw to winning this. WE FOUND LOVE (5) tried hard fresh up when finishing runner-up by a nose at Avondale nearly 3 weeks ago. Dropping back to 5f will do her no harm, and from another handy gate, she can go one better here. RIDGEVIEW VICKY (4) finished off her last start at Avondale very quickly when finishing second by half a length. Dropping down to 5f is a query, but she is trained here and is overdue for another win. NOTABADBERGS (2) ran out of condition late when racing at Avondale last start. That was his first run in well over a month, so he needed it, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. FAT ALBERT (8) was third here last time out, and will be peaking third up from a spell. This field lacks depth, and it is a good lead when Warren Kennedy sticks with him.
