Standout Sectionals - 12 March
Sectional Star of the Week
Race 6 Trentham, 9 March
Cheval de Foudre
He got back in what ended up a sprint home. So for him to get home in the best closing sectionals for second was a very good effort. He can pick up another win very soon.
Sectional Standouts
Race 4 Ellerslie, 9 March
Rightly So
She settled back after drawing wide and came home strongly for a 3.5L fifth in the best closing sectionals. From a good draw and maybe over 1600m next up she will be harder to beat.
Race 1 Ellerslie, 9 March
Saint Alice
She was snagged back in what was always going to be a sprint home and got home strongly for fourth. Watch out for her next up where she will probably be ridden more positively.
Race 4 Trentham, 9 March
Testify Me
He settled back in what was a sprint home coming his last 600 metres in 33.78 for second. He doesn't mind the rain about so can pick up another win next up.
Race 9 Riccarton, 7 March
Rubicon Reigns
He was used up early to get second outer on a strong pace ( 23.85 first 400 ) and was able to stick on gamely for third placing. If he can get a softer run on the pace next up, he can win on that effort.
