Te Rapa Saturday November 5

JACK THE LASS: Big fresh-up effort to finish fourth from well back on a day when making ground was difficult. Watch out for her when she steps up in distance.

Riccarton Saturday November 5

ANCHOR ME: Squeezed out of a handy spot through the mid-stages and never saw daylight thereafter. Deserves another chance.

Tauherenikau Sunday November 6

GRAEME JOHN: Charged home from well back when it was all over. That’s two big efforts over 1200 and 1300m; only needs more ground and a bit of luck to land his maiden win.
