Palm Springs Race 3 Te Rapa 24 July

She got back from a wider draw, and once balanced up 250m out, closed off stylishly in the best closing sectionals in all categories. With a better draw, she can win again.

Makzabeel Race 4 Te Rapa 24 July

They didn't go hard in this and the winner got a winning advantage on the turn. He closed off strongly, so wait until he gets back to a middle distance, and then he will be much harder to keep out.

Le Sablier Race 5 New Plymouth 24 July

Her last 200m of the race was the quickest of anything. That was a good field, so back in an easier open handicap, where she will get in on a good weight, she has to be harder to beat.

Ladies Man Race 7 New Plymouth 24 July

A highly thought of gelding by Allan Sharrock, and the way he closed off in the best last 200m shows he is likely to be put in the right race next-up to win again.
