Awapuni, July 5

KERETI

Unsighted before making debut and did well for second after covering ground on the pace. Plenty more to be seen of this Darci Brahma gelding.

Te Rapa, July 6

AMARILLO SLIM

A big improver when fourth at previous start and fourth again after doing a fair bit of work in the run. Should be fit and ready to show his worth over ground.

Hastings, July 6

RHYTHM ’N’ SPICE

No luck after being snookered behind the leaders and by the time she got clear it was all over.

Tauranga, July 7

PRISCA

Got well out of her ground and made a ton of ground but didn’t help her chances when laying out. With the benefit of the experience she’ll be hard to beat next time.
