THIS WEEK’S BLACKBOOKERS

Prioress Race 2 Awapuni October 12

Prospects took a hit when she settled back in the early running and did well to finish third after having to weave her way through traffic. Will win one at short notice.

The Mighty Spar Race 4 Tauranga October 13

Ended up badly placed in the rear and then had trouble working into the clear. Finally got some space in the dying stages and hit the line strongly. Stay with him.

Final Savings Race 5 Riccarton Park October 13

Smart on his day but the line just came up too soon in his final day sprint assignment. That third placing was still a big improvement on his first-up run and is one to follow heading into summer.
