BLACKBOOKERS

Riccarton Synthetic Friday June 2

FACETIME

Made a mess of the start and nothing went her way from that point. Raced up wide mid-stages to get on the speed and had every right to weaken, beaten five lengths in sixth place. That was her first start this prep and worth noting she has good soft and heavy track credentials.

Avondale Saturday June 3

RUBYSHOWOFF

Did well to finish fourth, less than three lengths from the winner, after doing a lot of work in the run and challenging on the turn. Bound to be improved by that fresh-up outing.

Wanganui Saturday June 3

HAKA BOOGIE

An obvious improver after tough fresh-up run and being well in the action until final stages. Has heavy track for, so keep on watch.

Wingatui Sunday June 4

BRICKIE’S MOJO

Lost several lengths standing in the gates and in the circumstances did well to come a clear last to finish fifth.
