Forward Thinking works smartly

Trackwork;

Special correspondent Palmerston North Forward Thinking ran a smart 600 m at Woodville yesterday morning in her final trial for the Hawke’s Bay meeting tomorrow. Fast work took place near the rails on the course proper, which was easy, in drizzly conditions. Forward Thinking was travelling well with Legal Brief at the end of 600 m

in 36.35. A bold second to Zaheer on the first day at Hastings, Forward Thinking is an acceptor for two races tomorrow. There is a preference for the Farewell Handicap, but

she is the fourth ballot in that race. The steeplechaser, Harvey, worked over a round at three-quarter pace, and later sprinted 600 m in 375. Desert Knight and Prince Etoile took 1:5.9 for 1000 m, the final 600 m in 38s. Desert Knight is a likely prospect in the City Maiden No. 1, while Prince Etoile is in the City No. 2.

Sleigh Song completed her work with 600 m in 41s. She jumped poorly at Awapuni and has a chance to redeem herself at Hastings. King Aussie galloped 800 m in 51.85.

He is a three-quarter brother to Lunar Trail. Tilbury Docks and Cheyne Row finished ahead of Walkanite over 800 m in 51.35, the final 600 m in 37.95. Chimo, usually a bold track galloper, went well over 1200 m in 1:17.5, the last 600 m in 38.45. Garabaldi and Tui Fras completed 1200 m in 1:24.3, the last 600 m in 40.35. Able Court and a

Pronto mare ran 800 m in 525, the 600 m in 38.45. Lunar Trail, a likely improver in the Te Mata Handicap, worked over 1200 m in 1:22.7, the 600 m in 40s. David Peake rides him. Dark Suit and a Diplomatic Agent filly with Murray Baker ran 600 m in 37.25. Justa Kiss and Bellavino strode over 1400 m in 1:35.25, the last 600 m in 40.25.
