Fortuna horses racing weekend of 12th/14th June

Three Fortuna runners this weekend, two in Singapore Friday evening, one at Ruakaka on Saturday.

First away on Friday in Singapore is 4yo KING SAVINSKY. Has been running good races without threatening of late, but this weekend is down in Grade and steps up to the 1800 metre distance and will be ridden by the very in form Apprentice jockey, Shafiq Rusof. In Race 1 at 10.20pm NZT. THE KING has drawn 4 in a field of 10 and does look well placed in this event.

The five time winner in Singapore, EATONS GOLD, contests Race 9 2.20am Saturday morning NZT, a Benchmark 67 event over 1200 metre on the Turf. EATON very rarely runs a bad race and is down a grade in this event, although does carry top weight. Shafiq rides him from barrier 5 in a field of 12 and with luck in the running, he should be very competitive in this event.

Ruakaka on Saturday sees 4yo SIR DARCI contests the Rating 75 1200 metre event, Race 9 at 2.33 pm. Very unlucky in never finding a gap in the straight, same venue, same trip, same grade 20th May, SIR DARCI has drawn 2 at the barrier and although has a carded weight of 60kg’s, he will carry 58kg’s courtesy  of the allowance provided by the very in form Brendan Hutton. Looks to be a strong each way chance with luck in the running.
