Sectional Star of the Week

Race 8 Riccarton Park, 13 April

Matscot

After settling back he had to run home in the quickest last 6oom of the day on the course proper to win. He has been in training since last September so it was a great training feat.

Sectional Standouts

Race 2 Riccarton Park, 13 April

Mogul

He settled back from the wide draw but came home strongly for second in the best closing sectionals. He can only improve off that and will be hard to beat next up.

Race 5 Riccarton Park, 13 April 

Gentle Ben

He settled back and when he got balanced up came home very well for second in the best closing sectionals. He was racing out of his grade so if he drops back to R65 grade next start he will be one to be on.

Race 3 Otaki, 13 April

Girls Light Up

She had a good run and had the race won two strides off the post but was run down late in solid sectionals. She will improve with that run and can be followed with confidence.

Race 8 Woodville, 12 April

Vickezzmargaux

At just her third start she came home strongly late for fourth running the best last 400 and 200m. Looks an obvious improver.
