Les Silk will be our only New Zealand runner over the coming week. She will race at Matamata on Wednesday 8th July over 1200m. Michael Coleman has been booked to ride her. She has run her best races on wet tracks so the forecast rain will only be of benefit.
Hot Mustard will race today at Goulburn in NSW over 2100m. He has had a gear change and with Jason Collett in the saddle we are hoping he will break through for his first win in Australia.
Waipa last Sunday was a day of mixed results. Ventura found the 1150m too short, getting back in the field and running on from well back to finish 4th giving the impression that more ground would suit. We are looking to run her at Avondale on the 31st over 1400m before stepping up over more ground.
Blue Pool Blur jumped midfield and stayed there for the majority of the race, really just battling to the line over 1400m. He will be tried over 1600m at Avondale on 17th July. Shantav was dropped back from his wide barrier and made up good ground in the straight to finish 5th. He will head to the paddock for a few weeks to freshen up.
The Hawk and He’s A Bigdeel were both disappointing finishing well back in their respective races.
