Weekly review ending 12 August 2023

Red Vienna Race 7 Riccarton Synthetic 9 August
After getting back, she sprinted home strongly for second in the fastest last 600 metres of the day. She lay in and was a tricky ride. When she steps out next, she must be hard to beat based on that.
Bush Mills Billy Race 7 Riccarton Synthetic 9 August
From the wide draw he settled at the rear of the big field and they didn’t go hard. But he pulled out into clear running with 300m to go in a sprint home , and let down stylishly to finish 8th. He ran the quickest last 200 metres of the meeting so looks set to go a lot closer next up.
Astilla Race 1 Te Rapa 12 August
She just needs a decent draw to win her maiden race. She was last with 800m to go from the wide draw, and after being held up in the straight, ran home strongly for fourth in excellent sectionals.
Casino Princess Race 3 Te Rapa 12 August
After settling at the rear, she came strongly for third in excellent sectionals. She will b e better siuted to a 1600 metres and a stronger pace.
Dashwood Race 7 Te Rapa 12 August
This was his first run over ground and only a good ride on the winner beat him. His sectionals were that of an improver so watch out for him next up.
Shejengar Race 7 Riccarton 12 August
She was tailed off from the wide draw, but got to the outside and motored home for third in the best sectionals of the race. From a better draw than 15 next up, watch for her to win!
Loquita Race 10 Riccarton 12 August
She was held up on the corner and charged home for third in the best sectionals. She has been up a while but keeps on producing strong efforts.
Prince Alby Race 8 Riccarton 12 August
They couldn’t have run the first 400m any slower so for Prince Alby, to get over the top off a some good horses, shows how good he is. Looks set to continue his his win strike rate.
