THIS WEEK’S BLACKBOOKERS

Finn McCool Race 8 Te Rapa July 10

That was more like it when just nosed out of second in a strong form race after doing a lot of work out wide. He can mix his form, but his chance will come with better luck in the run.

Herengawe Race 5 Awapuni July 10

His second-up run for fourth suggested he’s on the way back to the form that preceded his unsuccessful Sydney campaign.

Our Craftsman Race 1 Te Aroha July 11

Followed up his debut second over hurdles with a very good effort for a close third when having to be pitted against open performers. His turn will come.
