PRINCESS ELLY

Hit a brick wall when looking for room and had to settle for fourth. That was first start since clearing maiden grade in December, one to stay with.

NORTHEASTERLY

Did his best work late when finishing into third after having to find some space. Might need a bit more time but appears to have a future.

Trentham Saturday April 6

NANCY SHE WROTE

Got well out of ground and had heaps to do in tight quarters. Good effort for fourth, her second good run on the bounce. Deserves a turn.
