NZH - Ashburton Raceway - Race 1

MR MERCEDES (1) registered another sound performance last start when he battled on well to finish fourth over 1 ³/16m at Addington. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the talent to take this out. PARAMOUNT ROYALTY (6) kicked off his career with a win a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by a neck over 1 ³/16m at Addington. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. APOLLO ELEVEN (7) is capable of a better performance after finishing well back when resuming over 1 ³/16m at Addington two-and-a-half weeks ago when having to sit parked-out for most of the trip. MUSCLE BLUEPRINT (3) is a two-year-old gelding by Village Mystic from Muscles N Blues on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Trial winner who looks above average. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to his career.
