Fortuna Horses Racing Saturday 16th May

SIR DARCI scratched due to track conditions – now nominated Ruakaka Wed 20th May 

SIR DARCI contests the Rating 85 1200 metre event at Te Rapa (Race 3 @11.35), this being the same class, distance and track as his resuming run, after a long break, two weeks ago. On that occasion, he raced near the tail of the field, made a promising run along the rails before peaking on his run with 100 metres to go. Fitter for that, he has been working well and has drawn nicely at Barrier One for this assignment. There is a question mark over track conditions, with a Slow track looking likely, but provided he cops conditions on the day, he should give a bold showing. Senior Rider, Craig Grylls, takes the mount with regular rider, Matt Cameron, riding in Australia this Saturday.
