STANDOUT SECTIONALS WEEK ENDING 23 MAY

Lex's One Race 8 Cambridge 19 May

The way he charged late after balancing up for a close second in the third fastest last 200m all day of 11.45, shows maybe over 1300m back here in June he may get the chance to win.

Showshanelle Race 2 Awapuni 22 May

After a slow start, she got back but closed off very strongly for sixth in the best closing sectionals. She won third-up over 1400m last campaign, so looks set to improve off this run.

North Of Havana Race 3 Te Rapa 22 May

The way she unwound over the last 200 metres, running the best last 200m of 11.88, the fastest all day, shows over 1400m next-up, she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Total Sass Race 3 Hawera 23 May

This nice looking galloper showed she has come back ready for a profitable campaign when closing off strongly for third in the best last 200 metres. Doesn't mind wet tracks and more ground, so one to follow over the next few months.
