Dynamo

Dynamo may not have everything in his favour at Awapuni on Saturday, but he could still make a serious impression.
The northern visitor will strike a field of moderate quality when he makes his open class debut in the John Turkington Forestry/Wai Pine Holdings Bulls Country Cup.
"He hasn't raced for two months and it's going to be a Heavy 11 track," trainer Brendan Hawtin said.
"He has gone well in a fresh state in the past and I am quite happy with him, but he could be found out by the track. That's the only reservation I have."
Hawtin said he had been tempted to head south by the $30,000 stake on offer.
"The other option was a Rating 75 race over 1400 metres at Te Aroha next Wednesday where he would be running for $8000.
"We thought we might as well run for a bit of extra dough and on his day he's up to getting a bit of the prize."
Dynamo, who will be ridden by the promising apprentice Tim Johnson, has won four times from 15 appearances.
The Fully Fledged five-year-old has also proved himself racing left-handed way with a victory at New Plymouth last campaign. - NZ Racing Desk.
