It was! She's a bit tired after that apparently, so she'll get a couple of weeks off now. Her next start will be at Easter - either March 30 or April 1. Both of those options are at Ellerslie again. She seems to like it here!

High Fashion should be the favourite, now that Habibi's out of the picture. She's looked good winning a couple of stakes races recently, including the G3 Lowland at Hastings on March 2.

And there's also More Than Sacred, who was such a brave winner of the G3 Sunline Vase at Ellerslie last week. She might be my pick.

Others possibly heading for the Oaks include Lucky Country, Soriano (doubtful), Ray's Girl, Decorah, Aurora Lights, Abidewithme, Blanket Bay, Atacama, Chandelier and Emerald Queen.

This is actually kind of old news, but I somehow totally missed it!

2010 Derby winner Military Move is back in NZ and back with Shaune Ritchie.

He had his first trial this week and was second.

Sounds like a nice field.

Oh that is awesome!

He didn't like it much in hk, did he?

Can't wait to see him again.

Meanwhile, poor Mufhasa...

Yeah, poor Mufhasa. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. At least it explains that performance, which was pretty much the worst race of his life.

Military Move really didn't like it in HK. It's weird how some do and some don't, and there's no way to tell until they try it.
