Standout Sectionals - 20th February
Sectional Star of the Week
Race 7 Pukekohe, 18 February
Lincoln King
While Aquacade was impressive, the run of this Wellington Cup winner was also. He was held up at a vital stage and when out, ran the fastest last 200 metres and in a fast race. He is right on track for the Auckland Cup at $12.

Race 2 Cambridge Synthetic, 16 February
Rusavy
After getting back on the inner, he closed off nicely with the best closing sectionals after also being held up in the last 100 metres.
Race 5 New Plymouth, 17 February
Liquid Les
After chasing a fast pace, he was under a ride before the turn but was brave to fight on for second. Over 1600 metres, third up, looks ideal for him.
Race 9 Ascot Park, 18 February
Go Lotte
She closed off in the best sectionals and looks like 1600 metres will suit now. She has been finishing off her races well without much luck.
Race 3 Pukekohe, 18 February
Cool Change
After settling back, improved wide without cover and fought on very strongly for third. The sectionals were still very good considering the tough run and he will be hard to beat next up, over more ground.
