Asgard was very impressive breaking his maiden at Otaki.

Identifying the Early Overs Tomorrow in NZ

Whilst the Group 1’s in NZ are behind us for the season, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s racing at Te Rapa and Riccarton, as several horses stand out as good early overs. Here’s are a few races you might want to consider, of course, for more visit https://www.horsetorque.net/new-zealand

Also note for those betting with the TAB in NZ, the ODDS SURGE offered on ALL Riccarton races!

Riccarton

Race 2: Sinbin's Uncertainty

Should Sinbin not start, it opens opportunities for horses like Maryweka, Inflamed, and Express Coup, who have each shown potential and importantly are at odds.

Race 5: Star Ballot's Consistency

Can Star Ballot continue his success? His track and trip performance last time suggests another strong showing even though he concedes weight to some of his last start rivals he will meet again here.

Races 6, 7 & 9 also look events where some top-odds shopping can take place. Note the HorseTorque NZ ratings versus the TAB odds!

Te Rapa

Pow Wow's Test at Te Rapa

Pow Wow is priced attractively given his peak form. He is a ‘rocks or diamonds’ runner, but with a positive jump he looks set for an uncontested lead, so look out if he’s on his game!

Race 4: Optimal Conditions

Queen Zou and Tikaani are well-placed to add a win to their form records

Cody Cole's Stable is Firing

Mesa Verde's Ready: With Cody Cole’s stable performing exceptionally, Mesa Verde appears primed for another big win at a lucrative price.

Domain Ace for Stakes Success

Despite a challenging draw, Domain Ace's impressive performance at Ellerslie and suitability for the 1400m journey make him a contender to have a crack at

Asgard is the top pick for the day, with all factors aligning for a standout performance. He’s a big unit that the wide draw is probably more suitable for as long as he jumps on terms. I expect Pinn will roll forward down the back straight and pick his path before building strongly into his gallop. His HorsTorque NZ rating is $2.20
