Awapuni Friday April 8

IDEAL: Good effort first time out of maiden grade, finishing third in a leader-dominated race.  This daughter of class racemare I Do has a bright future.

Rotorua Saturday April 9

WAIRAU COVE: Punters who sent him out favourite should stay with him. Taken back to the rear from his wide gate, the task proved too big, but his strong late run into fourth had next time written all over it.

Riccarton Saturday April 9

DOUBLE PROSPERITY: Huge effort to finish second after being last on the turn and blocked for a run until the final 200m. Odds won’t be as juicy but a repeat will be a winning one.
