Standout sectionals - 16 November
O'Jude Race 1 Riccarton November 13
From a wide draw she got back closed off in the best last 400 and 200m of the race. She should pick up one or two in the South Island based on that effort.
Adannaya Race 4 Riccarton November 13
In a race where four of the first five came from off the pace, she did well to hold second behind a smart horse in Kopua. Fourth up next start and at peak now, so will be harder to run down, especially in an easier R65 race.
Final Savings Race 5 Riccarton November 13
With 200m to go she was still last and Sarah McNab had to ease back off others to get out and charged home for third in the best closing sectionals in all categories. He is back to near his best now so watch out next up and fitter.
Packing Joy Race 7 Te Aroha November 9
After a slow getaway, he got back in a moderately run race and put in some telling strides late for fifth with the best last 400m and 200m. Looks ready to win again very soon.
