BLACKBOOKERS

Te Rapa Friday, September 29

ULTIMATE PRIDE

Four-race winner who did well in first NZ start to finish fourth over a distance short of her best. One to follow as she steps up in trip.

Hastings Saturday, October 1

NO RAIN EVER

Big jump in class from maiden win and didn’t get any favours in the run. Still a good effort in the circumstances and worth staying with back to easier company.

Riccarton Saturday, October 1

BURNVUE

Only fifth but could be forgiven after having to race in the worst of the ground down on the rail. Deserves another chance.
