================================================
Fortuna has five runners Friday and Saturday, two in NZ and three in Singapore

New Zealand

New Plymouth – Friday 17th

NAVALHA contests the R75 1200m – Race 3 @ 1.37 pm and will be ridden by Craig Zackey from Barrier 4. Freshened since a Riccarton campaign where he won down the chute, he has trialed nicely and is primed for this race. Meets a good field here but can be competitive in this – good each way chance

Pukekohe Park – Saturday 18th

SOPRANO SUPREME runs in the Group 2 Avondale Cup over 2400m  – Race 7 @ 3.54pm – she will be ridden by Jake Bayliss from an inside barrier and carries the minimum of 53kgs. An out and out staying type, she won at 2400 Te Rapa 26^th Nov on a Soft 6 surface, ran 3^rd 2300m Trentham early December and 5^th this track 2200m on a Good 4. Will love the trip, drawn to get a Soft run, appreciates sting out of the track. Market has her at $14 and $4.20 – is a good place chance in this at odds and a winning performance would not surprise

Singapore

ROCKY races in the Class 4 1200 Poly – Race 3 @ 1pm Sing time (6pm NZT) and will be ridden by Apprentice S Shafrizal from barrier 5 – breaking Maidens last August, this 4yo son of El Roca has had four starts since including two fourths and a 3^rd at his last start in January – gets a good draw here and has an absolute featherweight to carry – can feature here and is a good each way chance at odds

KNIPPENBERG races in the Novice 1200 Poly – Race 8 @ 3.30pm Sing time (8.30pm NZT) and will be ridden by Ronnie Stewart from barrier 3 – a dominant winner on debut in Restricted Maiden grade on the Turf in a time just outside standard on a wet track, he gets the Poly here. Has a lot of natural ability and has taken good improvement from his debut run. Looks a very strong candidate on paper to run in the top 3 and can win

Here is what the STC tipsters have to say about this race:

DECEPTION contests the Class 4 1200 Turf – Race 12 @ 5.30pm Sing time (10.30pm NZT) and will be ridden by Simon Kok from barrier 9 – this 4yo son of I Am Invincible has won twice from 17 starts but is always there or thereabouts in his races – gets back in the run, but has a powerful finish and has only 53 kgs to carry. Good each way chance here

Freshman Sire Super Seth has taken the 2023 Yearling Sales by storm with his 1^st crop of yearlings being well sought by some high profile buyers. Our purchase, nicknamed “Ruby” has had a significant pedigree upgrade since we acquired her, with a very close relative, the 3yo Colt Red Resistance, making it two wins from two starts in Sydney and now a strong contender for the Golden Slipper

$1960 per each 1% share and $44 per month from 1 April 2023 – 8% left

Click HERE  to read all about her, view her pedigree and see her parade Video. An August foal she looks like she will run as a 2yo, but has the size and scope to develop into a strong, powerful 3yo. Lots of residual value with this pedigree
