Racing: Thrilling race at Wanganui

A thrilling result looms in tonight's $25,000 NZ Breeders Stakes (race 8, 7pm) at group one level over 520m on Wanganui's Hatrick Raceway.

Thrilling Ransom has been flying around the river city track lately, sweeping all before him, including his smart 29.81sec heat win last Friday.

"He's definitely suited to drawing close to the rail (drawn two). I have been happy with his work this week and he's ready to fire-up," advised his trainer Karen Walsh, who has two other finalists in Thrilling Sprat and Thrilling Boss engaged.

Gary Harding also has a strong prospect from his Tirau-based training operation in Thrilling Sight.

He was a 29.88sec heat winner and is a likely improver after that.

"I believe Sight can take this race to Thrilling Ransom.

"I have deliberately kept him on the fresh side, so hopefully he can take the early race lead," he suggested.
