Fabrizio, looks close to winning a maiden at Auckland on Friday night.
Race 3: CHEVRON ACTION (10, Blair Orange), mob. 1609m: “Just unfortunate she missed away last week but went well afterwards. We’re back to a mobile so we’re back in the race if things go our way.”
Race 4:KRUG (7, Blair Orange), mob. 1609m: “We’ve been excited with his development but we’ve got a tricky draw first-up, and you have to respect Mark and Natalie’s two, who have also trialed up well with Krug and have drawn inside him.”
Race 5: FABRIZIO (6, Blair Orange), mob. 1609m: “He’s not far from a win providing he behaves himself, but he seems to be getting better with each start.”
NZ METRO TC, Friday, December 13
Race 1: WOMAN IN GOLD (11, Gavin Smith), mob. 1980m: “Not getting the best rub of the green in her last few starts, but can feature with a good run through from two off the back row.”
Race 4: BETTATHANFAST (8, Matt Anderson), mob.1980m: “He’s freshened up after some hard runs at the NZ Cup meeting, so we’re looking for an improved showing.”
Race 6: ARDEN ROANOKE (5, Matt Anderson), mob.2600m: “He’s also freshened up and trialed good on Wednesday. We can’t do any worse than sixth but with a bit of a luck we can run top-four.”
AUCKLAND TC, Saturday, December 14
Race 4: GEMMA MAC (6 Anthony Butt) & DR SUSAN (7, Tony Herlihy), mob. 2200m: “Gemma Mac didn’t back up quite as good as we hoped last week, but she’s had a week to freshen. Dr Susan has been going super without winning, so they’re both there looking to do their best as its a $100k race, but it’s not going to be easy from their draws.”
