Te Rapa, April 26
ARCHAIC SMILE
Charged home for a close second in the Cambridge Breeders' Stakes, clocking the fastest last 800m, 600m and 400m in the race. Multiple big-race placegetter this time in and deserves to win one before going out for a spell.
Riccarton, April 26
CONOR O'CEIRIN
Set a strong pace and opened up a big lead mid-race in the Easter Cup. Still had plenty of fight in the straight and was only swamped late when finishing fourth.
Wanganui, April 27
QUEEN OF NAPLES
Caught the eye on debut, finishing strongly from the back and running the quickest last 800m, 600m, 400m and 200m in the race. A maiden win looks close.
