Bradman and Reign It In lifted their game another notch when galloping together at Awapuni this morning.

Fast work was held on the plough (good) or against the fence on the No 1 grass (slow).

Bradman, second at the Foxton trials last week, and Reign It In used the plough and covered 1000m in 1.6.8, coming the final 800m in 50.4, the last 600 in 36.5. The Roydon Bergerson-trained duo are poised for a rewarding season.

House Of Cartier did nice work on her own over 1000m in 1.6.5, the last 600 in 36.6, and her stablemate Excelleration sprinted 600m in 36.8.

Their stablemates Frankenstein, unplaced on debut a few weeks ago, and un-raced four-year-old Big Franck (by Teofilo) caught the eye with 1.7.2 and 36.5.

Kusuda, who was entered for the interprovincial race (r82 mile), did similar work, coming the last 600 in 38.4.

A Pins-Sandally filly and a Niagara-Bidthemobgooday gelding, both trained by Mark Oulaghan, ran 1000m in 1.9.9, the last 600 in 39.6, while a Showcasing maiden and a Per Incanto maiden, both trained by Ashley Meadows, clocked 1.12.3 and 39.3.

Sindacato, who shows tremendous promise, ran 800m in 54.2, the last 600 in 40.8. He looks in for a good season.

On the No 1 grass, Atenartin, in at Taranaki (r65 1200m), and Showshanelle took the honours with 800m in 51.1, the last 600 in 38.5, and Atenartin is close to winning form.
