Stratford hoping for better luck
Gore trainer Tony Stratford will be hoping for a change in luck for the second day of the Wyndham Harness Racing Club’s grass meeting at Cromwell tomorrow.
Although quite a few of his team were highly favoured yesterday, Stratford was unable to nab a winner.
He has three chances in Race Four tomorrow – Gati (Bettor’s Delight), Nana’s Little Terror (Terror To Love) and Ava Dale (He’s Watching).
Gati gets a nice draw and has shown good speed out of the gate in the past.
Nana’s Little Terror broke at the start in her race yesterday and took no part.
Ava Dale’s form is solid this time in and was a good fourth on Friday.
Tony has a two pronged attack in Race Five with Bismarck Du Plessis (Always B Miki) and The Orange Roughy (Betterthancheddar).
Bismarck Du Plessis was parked on the first day and battled home for sixth.
The Orange Roughy was favourite in his race yesterday but got too far back to be a player.
Stratford labelled The Orange Roughy as the stable’s best bet tomorrow.
In Race Six the main trot of the afternoon, Stratford lines up Son Of A Cleaner (Love You) who’ll be handled by Blair Orange. He broke at the 1300 metres yesterday.
In Race Ten, Stratford has two runners Mataura BB (A Rocknroll Dance) and Tuneinsportsfans (Sportswriter).
Mataura BB broke prior to the gate, pulling away from the start point.
Tuneinsportsfans finished eighth on the first day of the meeting.
