Sectional Star of the Week

Karman Line
She settled back off an even tempo and rattled home to win in the fastest last 600m of the day. The race time was the quickest all day so it was a strong win.

Race 2 Rotorua, 11 May
Malmaison
After getting back at the jump he then settled on the pace 3 wide. From there he ran a very game second in excellent sectionals. He should improve off that and be very hard to beat next up.
Race 2 Rotorua, 11 May
Bernie's Ego
He may be a 7yo but he ran home from the rear in 10.98 for his last 200m. It was the fastest last 200 all day and from a good draw next up should improve off that fourth placing.
Race 5 New Plymouth, 11 May
Tiny Diamond
From the wide draw he snagged back to last. On the corner he came the widest and sustained a big run to almost win. He ran the best closing sectionals and maybe over 1600m can win next up.
Race 3 New Plymouth, 11 May
Liquid Les
After disputing a solid pace in a first 400 in 23.65, and doing it 3 wide in the open, he tired in the last 200m. If he strikes a race where he can lead by himself next up, he can improve quickly.
