BLACKBOOKERS

Rotorua Friday April 28

SOCIAL DISTANCE

Didn’t help her chances with a slow start and never in the clear afterwards. Should have finished a lot closer than fifth, beaten less than three lengths.

Te Rapa Saturday April 29

TESTIFY ME

Caught the eye final stages hitting the line hard after taking an age to clear traffic. That wasn’t the first time he has had traffic problems. Deserves a break and when he gets it he’ll be winning again.

Hastings Saturday April 29

APACHE ANNE

The money was on her dropping back sharply in class, but her backers got no joy after she settled in back an awkward spot. Don’t drop her just yet.

Wingatui Sunday April 30

ANTICIPATE

Wide draw did her no favours and ended up well out of her ground. Struck traffic problems in the straight and did well for third. Odds won’t be so juicy next time but still worth taking.
