Standout Sectionals - 6 November
Race 6 - Tauranga, 4 November
Outback Opal
After settling back in an on pace race, she got out and balanced up then charged home late in strong sectionals. She won second up last campaign and looks set to repeat that pattern.

Race 3 - Wanganui, 2 November
Leica Song
She went out 2 lengths slower to the 600, and was able to match the better class R65 race time. She did it comfortably too so this good looking mare should be able to step up in grade successfully.
Race 1 - Te Aroha, 3 November
Crystal Falls
After settling back off a moderate pace, she was badly checked on the turn but motored home for a very stylish second in excellent sectionals. Looks a next up winner wherever she goes.
Race 9 - Tauranga, 4 November
In a Pickle
He was tailed off in the running but was doing his best work late and in the best sectionals. As soon he strikes a heavy track in the next few weeks, he will prove hard to beat.
Race 4 - Trentham, 4 November
Times Up
He had the toughest run in the race and still was able to kick on and run second. His sectionals were very good considering the run he had. Robbie Patterson will have him cherry ripe third up.
