So Wotif will make his long awaited return to racing at Ruakaka on Saturday over 1000m with Alysha Collett in the saddle. He has had plenty of ground work and two trials going into the race so he is well prepared but with such a long layoff he may still lack full race day fitness.

Les Silk ran a super race at Matamata on Wednesday over 1200m to be beaten by just a nose on a very heavy 11 track. She appears to have come through the race well.
Hot Mustard was our other runner last week at Goulburn in Australia. He finished a good 3rd over 2100m. The wide draw probably cost him the race and he should be hard to beat when he lines up again in a similar race again on 20th July.
