NZ - Te Rapa - Race 5

BONNARD (2) is a very promising gelding who was dominant last start at Waipukurau, leading throughout and winning by 6 lengths over 1m. He stays in the same grade, and an extra 8lbs should not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. AMIRA D'ARGENTO (3) continues to race in solid form, scoring 2 starts back at this track before finishing a close third at Arawa Park last time out. She has won her only race here over this trip, and she will be hitting the line hard again. Each way. SWEET BUT PSYCHO (4) was never in contention last start when well back at Arawa Park. There will be no fitness concerns fourth up from a spell, and she is capable of figuring in the top 3 at a price. BOURBON PROOF (1) has been below his best in recent outings, but he is capable of better. He drops in grade from his last start, and he is not without a top 4 chance in this. FRENCH THINKER (7) got in the final stride to score by a nose here just over 3 weeks ago, and she can measure up again.
