8 Pick the Gap<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

8 Pick the Gap put in a professional performance to win a 375m qualifying trial at Manawatu when she came underneath 5 Crossfit Queen which ran off on the home bend. Different track & more ground makes it tricky but she looked strong to the lure.
