Sectional Star of the Week

The Number One Son Race 4 Riccarton Park 19 May

After rearing at the start and being a clear last, he did very well to get up for third in the best sectionals. Just needs to start better to be very hard to beat next up.

Sectional Standouts

Make Believe Race 6 Riccarton Park 19 May

She put in an excellent effort here to set a solid tempo and still be able to keep up a strong gallop to win well. She goes up to a rating of 65 which means she has to be hard to beat again in the same grade next up, maybe with a claim.

Global Beauty Race 3 Riccarton Park 19 May

She had the tongue tie go on for the first time and it made a difference as she did very well to get home for fourth running the best sectionals in all categories. Fitter third up next start and she should be a nice eachway chance.

Jimmy Dean Race 4 Cambridge 18 May

From the trail he was held up till about 120m out and closed off in the best last 400 and 200 metres and was in front soon after the winning post. Nice galloper ready to win now.

Spanish Harlem Race 2 Hawera 22 May

From well back in the field he sustained a long sustained finish for third in the best last 800 metres. He was a bit wayward but has an ideal wet track action and once he gets up over more ground he can break out of maidens.
