Fortuna Horses Racing This Weekend

Just one Singapore runner Friday – 3yo Filly, SECRET SPICE (Sakhees Secret-Caparison) contests Race 3 @ 11.20pm NZ Time. Drawn the Ace barrier in a Class 4 1800 metre event on the Turf and carded to carry 52kgs, the ” Spice Girl” will be ridden by leading Apprentice Shafiq Rusof, who claims 1kg off her back. A winner in Initiation Grade three starts back, SECRET SPICE will relish stepping up in distance, but is the only 3yo  in a good Class 4 field and will find this event a good test of her ability in stronger company.

Queens Birthday Monday sees 4yo Gelding HIGHLY LIKELY (High Chaparral-Starrinka) contest the Rating 75 2200 metre event (race 5 @ 2.25pm). To be ridden by Matt Cameron and fourth up in his current campaign, HIGHLY LIKELY will get track conditions to suit with a heavy track anticipated. Notable that he has won at this trip and on a Heavy 11 track previously ( Te Aroha June 2014).
