Standout Sectionals - 8 May
Sectional Star of the Week

Race 4 Riccarton Synthetic, 4 May
Final Savings
A slow start meant she settled in the rear and they didn't go hard. So to get up for fifth in the fastest closing sectionals of the day, was a good effort. She has had three runs back now and is ready for a winning effort.
Race 9 Otaki, 5 May
Harmonious
She ran a very game race for second and there was a gap to third in the quickest last 600 metres of the race. This well bred mare should be improved by that and be hard to beat next up.
Race 7 Te Rapa, 6 May
Indeem
From a slow start he got back and came wide in the straight. He wound up nicely to run fifth in the fastest last 200 metres of the meeting. When he gets over more ground he can be backed with confidence.
Race 6 Te Rapa, 6 May
Go Lotte
After settling midfield she really charged late in the second quickest last 200 metres of the meeting. She is in a purple patch of form at the moment and can pick up another win very soon.
