Lovely first look at Addington Raceway last time out by<\/span> 6<\/span> J T Boe and beaten by a<\/span> pretty shar<\/span>p<\/span> one.

Plenty of promise from <\/span>4 <\/span>Kyvalley<\/span> Ray in two starts here in NZ and both have been full of merit too.

Gr.1 winning filly <\/span>8 <\/span>Shezsofast<\/span> steps out again looking for another feature win here and looking through the line up there are few as qualified as her to win it.

Massive efforts in both runs back this time in from <\/span>2 <\/span>Arafura, both to the eye and on the clock. Charged home last week in a quality field and looked to only have needed to be a few spots closer to really have pushed for success. Lovely set up here and she should be winning. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

The value in <\/span>8 <\/span>Mighty Logan has well and truly gone after opening at $11. But a beautiful race for him. Will love the 2000m and with the aid of the handicaps has a chance to settle well in front of his key rivals.
