Standout sectionals - 15 September
Is She Bold Race 5 Woodville 9 September
Her last 600m, 400m and 200m were the fastest of the race. Once she got balanced up, she charged home and was in front not long past the winning post. Her dam won five of her seven races over middle distances, so watch out when she does get over more ground
Swords Drawn Race 7 Te Rapa 11 September
The way he unwound fresh-up over the last 200m in 12.30, the fourth fastest all day, shows he is right on track to repeat his pattern of winning second-up at his last two campaigns.
Judy's Song Race 8 Te Rapa 11 September
She may have only won one race from 12 starts, but the way she fought hard for second, with a gap to the rest, in the best last 600m of the race, indicates she is on track to win at least one more, probably over more ground, in her next few starts.
Full Swing Race 9 New Plymouth 11 September
She pushed the hot favourite, Ladies Man, right to the line with space to the rest. Her last 400m and 200m were the best in the race, so she is right at her peak.
