Sectional Star of the Week

Race 6 Riverton, 8 April

Astradeel

He won easily in the best sectionals and a similar time to the Open handicappers. He is on a rating of 64 so if he starts in R65 grade next up, he looks a good bet to go back to back.

Sectional Standouts

Race 1 Ashburton, 5 April

Chapinteel

The way she came home for second in the quickest sectionals, shows this well bred filly has got upside. Expect a winning run next up.

Race 5 Whanganui, 6 April

Headline News

The way he came home for third, after changing ground and in the best sectionals, shows that he wouldn't need to improve much to be very hard to beat third up.

Race 5 Pukekohe, 8 April 

Flamebird

If it wasn't for the awkward start and having to play catch up, she surely would have won. Her sectionals were excellent and in a good race time. One to follow with confidence from Lance Noble's stable.

Race 8 Pukekohe, 8 April 

Imarichgirl

She came home in the quickest sectionals after being held up in the straight. She has been racing in group company and she shouldn't be too hard to place to gain a well deserved second win.
