HIGHLAND FLING

Got caught wide in the running and did well to get home for second when he had every excuse not to.

Te Rapa Saturday, August 10

CHAJABA

Settled closer to the speed but out in the open. Despite that he stuck to his task for third.

HACKSAW RIDGE

Never sighted after poor start in the Winter Cup, but better this time finishing fifth. A chance to pick up another win before tracks firm up.

Woodville Sunday, August 11

SUGAR LIPS

Had only fair lead-up trial form but turned in a bottler at long odds, finishing hard from well back for third. Won’t be long in maiden grade.
