Sectional Standouts

Race 4 Te Rapa, 10 February

Harlow Rocks

She set an even pace and fought hard when headed by the very good filly, Molly Bloom. She relaxes well and drops her head so the 2400m of the Oaks will suit.

Race 5 Riccarton, 10 February

Movie Girl

The way she came home for second in the quickest closing sections tells us that she will better over more ground.

Race 8 Riccarton, 10 February

Divine Sava

The concussion plates going on helped her with the firmer track as she ran home in the best sectionals for second. If she can get the front, she can be harder to run down.

Race 9 Riccarton, 10 February

Jaffa

She was caught 3 wide and was snagged back to get cover. The way she came home for eighth in the best sectionals means with a decent draw she could upset them next up.
