Standout sectionals - 7 September
Drum Major Race 3 Te Rapa September 4
Wasn’t expected to win based on his big drift in the betting, but after getting back in running, unwound strongly late and was strong through the line, running the best last 200 metres in 12.06.
Muse Race 6 Te Rapa September 4
The way she closed off for third in the best last 600 and 200m in 11.83, after being held up, shows she is right on track to peak next-up.
Yolo Race 3 Wanganui September 4
Her last 200 metres of 12.70 was the quickest of the race and she ran a solid fourth. A middle distance looks her ideal distance, so watch out when she gets that.
Floral Art Race 7 Wanganui September 4
Considering she relishes very heavy tracks, to see her unwind late for second in the best closing sectionals shows that when she strikes a heavy track, she is in the right form to win, maybe over a middle distance.
