Riccarton 4^th December

HEE’S OUR SECRET: An early check cost him and then struck further trouble when looking for clear space in the straight. Did well to finish third and can do even better any time soon.

Ellerslie 5^th December

DAWN PARADE: Heavily supported on debut but came up against a slightly more experienced talent in Amarelinha and had to settle for second. His turn isn’t far away.

Trentham 5^th December

WHOLETTHEFOXOUT: Put in another bold effort, fading late for fifth after doing more than his share of work through the middle stages. Given the right opportunity he can get his reward through the holiday season.
