Blackbookers - 6 September
Awapuni, August 30
SAINT BERNARD
Got taken back early from his outside draw then didn’t help himself by racing keenly. Had his chance to win but found one better. Still a much improved effort that suggests a win is around the corner.
Wanganui, August 31
MARTELL
A good effort up against a quality field. Ended up having to do more work than preferred and was then a sitting duck after challenging on the turn and being outfinished by runners wider on the track. Stay with him while tracks remain on the soft side.
Riccarton, August 31
RHONDA WOOD
A big effort in her first start since November, tracking up behind the speed and being beaten less than a length by the favourite. Looks in for a big season.
