Realism has been very dissapointing but worked better running 600m in 37.2, maybe worth giving one more chance on Sunday.  Blakmandu worked very well running the last 600m in 38.3. Another win is close.

Track Update - 22/07

Busy week at the track as horses prepare for Premier Raceday Saturday.  Ginella looked improved running the last 600m in 37s.  With the claim from top apprentice Alvin Ng, she is a sound eachway bet.   Forgive Free Escorts last start failure, he worked well this week and is a good chance in a tough field Saturday.

Track Update - 14/07

Trentham track specialist Blakmandu galloped very well running the last 600m in a tick under 40s.  He will be hard to beat on Saturday.  Gasnier whilst not running a fast last 600m worked very strongly.  The last start hurdle winner is no forlorn chance on the flat at Trentham.

The Wheeler team were to the fore this morning.  Riverton Cup winner Gasnier worked very well running the last 600m on the sand in 37.7, his hurdle debut on Saturday is eagerly awaited. The former top galloper Tedriffic has been out of form for awhile, however, his recent work has shown improvement.  Maybe worth following in the next couple of starts.

Track Update - 10/06

Brecon Heights worked very well running 600m on the sand in 38.1 in company with Heza Dooley.  Brecon Heights with the benefit of the Rosie Myers Claim is a strong each way chance on Saturday.  Heza Dooley is a first starter that should like the wet.

Track Update - 2/06

Hi Flo took time honours at the track this week running 600m in 39.2, she should hold her form. Torrado also looked good when running 600m in 40.9, he may be worth following at long odds.

Track Update - 27/05

Iam Sam worked super running the last 600m in 42, he could easily win two in a row.   A tradionally half brother to Ballybit trained by Allan Sharrock worked well running 600m in just over 40s he is promising.

Track Update - 20/05

Polly Petite and Kovak worked very well running the last 600m in 40.7 on a heavy course proper. Although not timed High Season looks extremely fit for the Waikato hurdles on Saturday.

Track Update - 13/05

Busy morning at the track with local races on Saturday.  Keyora looked bright when running 600m on the sand in 36.6 with Gusher.  Keyora should be very hard to beat while Gusher is an outside chance if he regains the field.  Exstreme is in top form and leaves for brisbane on Wednesday.  Will be a great chance as long as the tracks have give in them.

Track Update - 21/04

Track Update - 17/03

In an unusual move, Oaks Contender, La Marino worked twice within an hour, running the last 600m in 36.1 and 37.2 respectively.  She has potential and is an outside chance in the Oaks. Harkuf continues to improve.  He took a tad over 37s for his last 600m.  He should strike form when the tracks get wetter.

Track Update - 10/03

No times were taken at track on Tuesday.  Best from the track for Sunday at Waverley are probably Glaizem and Secret Magic.  Both are good each way chances.

Track Update - 03/03

Track Update - 03/02

Extremely quiet morning at the track with most trainers at the yearling sales.  Pincinna @ Wanganui appears one of the better bets from the track and it may pay to give Mr Composed another chance after a disappointing last start.  Both horses appeared to work well with out being timed.

Track Update - 27/01

Belles Fast looks ready for the million dollar race on Sunday.  She ran 600m in 36s flat.  Biggles is a geniune light weight chance in the Wellington Cup.  He worked strongly the last 600m in 37.9.

Track Update - 06/01

In a quiet morning at the track the promising gallopers Ballybit and Volgus worked well running the last 600m in 38.4.  They could both start at Marton next week and both look smart after their short break.
