THIS WEEK’S BLACKBOOKERS

North Of Havana, Te Rapa 22 May

Got well out of her ground from the wide draw, then struck traffic problems. Hit the line hard for fifth and will take some beating next time over 1400m.

Superdonna, Awapuni 22 May

Punters got burnt when she could do no better than fifth, but had little luck in the running before working clear late. Stick with her.

Even Chance Race 6 Te Rapa 22 May

That is two runs in a row he has impressed now. In this, he was held up 400 metres out but still closed off strongly in the best sectionals, chasing home an up-and-coming stayer in Uareastar. He should be very hard to beat third-up and peaking.
