Fortuna has three runners in NZ Friday, Sunday and Monday and 4 in Singapore (but two are on ballot and need scratchings in Singapore
New Zealand
Khafeef resumes at Hawera Friday 3rd of September r in the rating 65 1600m event -race seven at 3:02 pm- last raced in May but has trialed and is very fit -does have a difficult draw in this event but has the benefit of a 2kg apprentice rider claim – has shown form in this sort of event before and could feature with the right run
Beau Geste contests the Open Hurdles at Te Aroha on Sunday – race 3 at 1pm – ran 4th in the Grand National Hurrdles and was 4th on the flat Matamata last Wednesday – talented jumper, small field – is right in this
Leaderboard resumes at Ashburton on Monday, 6 September in the Open 1600 – strong winning performances at his two previous starts in the Autumn and two nice trials after a good spell would indicate that he is up to the task here – on a path to the NZ Cup in November and may need this run but can feature
Singapore
Brutus runs in the class 4 1000m Polytrack – race three at 5 pm – running good races without winning he gets his chance here with senior rider Harry Kasim aboard – does have a tricky barrier to contend with but with the right run can feature.
Sportscaster is in the class 5 1700m Polytrack event – race nine at 8 pm – but does need a scratching to get a start – has drawn very wide which probably suits him anyway and if he does get a run can run into the money
Marcus Antonius is also in race nine but needs two scratchings to get a start – a dour staying type he can feature in the unlikely event that he gets a start
Elliot Ness runs in the class 4 1000 Polytrack – race 11 at 9 pm – setting a track record three starts back he disappointed at his last start but has since been freshened – has drawn perfectly in Barrier 2, gets the benefit of Singapore‘s leading rider K Hakim and the benefit of his 2 kg claim – can win
“Elliot Ness” – Debut win Singapore in track record time – 24th April 2021
