Race 2 Ellersliem, 20 April

Russian Satire

He was slow away again and settled back on the inner and looked little chance of winning. But he got balanced up and reeled off an amazing last 600 to get up. She is one to follow as she has won on good to heavy surfaces.

Race 5 Riccarton, 20 April

Helly Belly

She settled back on the rail and came home in nice sectionals for seventh. She handles a wet track and can pick up a win when she strikes wetter conditions.

Race 7 Riccarton, 20 April 

Cherryville

He came home from the back in the best last 600m of the race. He is ready now for 2000m and will be hard to beat when he gets it.

Race 10 Riccarton, 20 April

Hereigoagain

She got back and did well to run home in the slower ground for second in excellent sectionals and race time. He certainly deserves a win.
