TE RAPA PREVIEW
In the manner of Wahid 4 year’s prior, all bar one horse will look to springboard their way into the New Zealand Derby via the Gr.3 HS Dyke Waikato Guineas (2000m) this Saturday.
 
Heading the Te Rapa field by way of rating is the Shaune Ritchie-trained galloper Military Move (NZ) (Volksraad).
 
Whilst yet to score black-type of his own, Military Move (NZ) has thrice been placed at stakes level, with the best of these achieved when finishing 1 length behind Katie Lee in the Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m).
 
Interest horses in the field also include the winner of his last two outings No Fear (NZ) (Johar), the regally bred Maciano (Redoute’s Choice), the last start Gr.2 Great Northern Guineas winner, Zarzuela (NZ) (Zabeel) and the Listed Bonecrusher Stakes heroine, Jungle Juice (NZ) (Jungle Pocket).
