GUM BASHER

Dropping back to 1200m, the post came up to soon but still another very good effort top go with previous efforts. An obvious one to follow when she steps up in distance.

Te Rapa Saturday, August 12

ANELA

Didn’t quite live up to the strong support but still did well for third in the worst of the ground. Keep her on watch for when tracks improve.

Riccarton Saturday, August 12

PROSERVE

Went down by half a length to a smart horse, adding to a string winter formline. Synthetic or turf, he’s always one to follow.
