WANGANUI 19^th February

HIT THE ROAD JACK: Has a knack of finding trouble in his races and did well again to finish third off a chequered run. His turn must surely come soon.

ELLERSLIE 20^th February

CONTRIBUTE: This lightly raced filly won’t be a maiden for long. Taking on quality three-year-old opposition in just her second start, she looked one for the future with a solid finish into second.

ASCOT PARK 20^th February

LIGHTNING JACK: Big effort to just get beaten giving six kilos to the winner. That will have cleaned him up for bigger targets heading into autumn.

HASTINGS 21^st February

KINSHASA: A long break between races found her out over the concluding stages after working up wide to challenge. Stay with her.
