Just had a look at the form for R1 ,
Hankee Alpha has a sticky gate for 1200 at Ellerslie.
Sometimes you just have to take your medicine when drawn wide.
That big long bend comes pretty quick and you can find yourself in no man’s land.

The Cambridge horse may offer some value ?
Green as grass as a beaten favourite last start, but if they can settle him, he could run into the first 3.

It is a very tricky barrier at that course and distance.

However, she settled last in her last start win and then weaved some sort of magic beyond her years to win. In the December trial she settled last and Masa just sat on it.

It's risky, but I wonder whether they choose not to compete for a spot early and risk getting caught wide but rather settle at the back and then back her in to weave a path in the straight.

It'll be some finish if that’s how it pans out. Masa not riding is my question mark.

The vision I have seen of her she doesn’t exactly ping the gates, so most likely goes back regardless.
That 1200 start at Ellerslie is a real bummer if you draw the car park.

Our only runner in the 2yr old Karaka mil drew 12 of 14

That was unlucky. Unless your Imperatriz it's very hard to win from there.

Turning that track into a fortress.
4 starts, 3 seconds and a win.

Should have another few races before a winter spell.

What a great horse to own, earns almost every time he goes to the track !
Putting together a great record, earning close to $350k now.

Have you any stake in him glenashley ?

By Iffraaj out of an Irish bred mare.
Iffraaj has certainly been a great stallion, particularly in the northern hemisphere.
