NZ - Te Rapa - Race 3

COSMIC DREAM (7) is a very promising filly who ended her initial prep with a solid fifth in a stronger field than this at Ellerslie in January. She won a recent trial under her own steam, and even from a wide gate, she is the one to beat. MISS MOET ALL (11) fought on bravely for fifth after racing on the pace here last time out, and she may be looking for a slightly firmer surface here. With conditions to suit, she can figure in the top 3. OPRESSOR (2) franked some good trial form with a comfortable win on debut at Avondale just over 3 weeks ago. He can secure a cosy run from the pole position, and he obviously has no trouble with a heavy track. He is poised to go back-to-back. GENERAL MENARI (1) flew late when finishing runner-up at Otaki 3 weeks ago, and that form has since been franked in stakes company, which makes him hard to beat in this. TIMETOPLAYTHEGAME (5) made progress in the spring, and he prefers the tracks when they are at their heaviest. Follow the market moves.
