It looked a good bet on paper. Wilson house trying to win the junior premiership so the horses are ready to go. Leaders track and it crossed The Mantis (a fast horse off the gate) when it won at Timaru in a 1:59 mile rate. Sweet Lous go good on grass. Only surprising thing was the price. I thought it would come in not go out. -

By Mike Love Elgin trainer David Mitchell joins the party on the coast for the final day of the circuit today. He takes three sound chances to the Reefton meeting, including Deceptive Lee in the feature, the $25,000 Rosco Contractors Reefton Cup over 2500m. “He seems pretty forward,” said trainer David Mitchell. Deceptive Lee has not raced since winning at Addington in September but has been to the workouts. “His last workout at Methven was good and a bit of form has come out of that.” It will be tough for the seven-year-old son of Captaintreacherous who’s off 20 metres and facing race-hardened horses like Teds Legacy, Westport Cup winner Hacksaw Ridge and second-day winner Smoke On The Water. However, Deceptive Lee has won twice in a fresh state as well as winning once and placing once from three starts on the Reefton track. “The small field negates his handicap a wee bit.” To see the Reefton Cup field click here Race 3, the M S Moore Contracting Mobile Pace over 2450m, will see debutant Liberty Girl take her place. After qualifying in November she has since been back to the workouts a couple of times with her most recent effort suggesting she would be a strong top three chance. “After she qualified I didn’t think we’d be here but she has progressed a lot and her last workout was promising.” Liberty Girl begins from barrier two today and has shown genuine gate speed and should be able to get across early and secure an economical run. “She may lack a bit of ringcraft but she’s travelled over here well.” Resurgamas lines up in Race 4, the Paul Cutbush Memorial Pace over 2000m. The full brother to Lazarus is yet to win from five starts but is still progressing. “He’s a bit 50/50 in the gait department. If he got away on even terms with them he should be thereabouts.” After missing away from the stand it was a huge recovery to finish as close as he did last time at Oamaru, so manners will need to be present today. “He got home well after making a mess of the start. When it all comes together for him he should win one or two.” Junior driver Gemma Thornley will drive all three runners. Race one gets underway at 12:18pm. View the full article -

Flying the flag for the National Association of Racing (NAR) circuit, Diktaean emerged from Monday's G1 Tokyo Daishoten as a popular winner after the son of King Kamehameha produced a brave effort to deny hot favourite Mikki Fight (Drefong) at Ohi Racecourse. Trained locally by Katsunori Arayama, Diktaean raced enthusiastically in mid-division through the early stages, before enjoying the perfect tow from Mikki Fight when that rival began to engage top gear on the home turn. Everything appeared to be going to plan for the market leader when Christophe Lemaire produced him to lead early in the straight, but Diktaean and jockey Takayuki Yano remained persistent challengers in their slipstream. Drawing level inside the final furlong, the seven-year-old Diktaean responded generously from there to eventually master his younger rival, ultimately getting the verdict by a neck. Outrange (Regalo) finished another 1 1/2 lengths behind the leading pair in third. The disappointments of the race were the three-year-olds Narukami (Thunder Snow) and Natural Rise (Kizuna), who had previously highlighted their liking for this course and distance when finishing first and second, respectively, in the Listed Japan Dirt Classic in October. Narukami finished over seven lengths behind the winner in sixth, having raced closer than ideal to the strong gallop set by the freewheeling Natural Rise. The latter trailed home 11th of the 15 runners. The success of Diktaean identified him as the first winner of this race to be trained on the NAR circuit in 20 years. Plainly in the form of his life at the age of seven, he made his Group-race breakthrough in September's G3 Korea Cup at Seoul, having been trained by Tatsuya Yoshioka until earlier this year. Six of his 11 career victories have been achieved in stakes company. Pedigree Notes Diktaean is one of four winners from five runners out of the multiple stakes winner Medeia (King Halo) who, in turn, is out of the GII Pucker Up Stakes scorer Witchful Thinking (Lord Avie). In total, Witchful Thinking is the dam of 10 individual winners, with the others including the Listed Fukushima Himba Stakes heroine Lofty Aim (Sunday Silence). Lofty Aim herself features as the dam of the G3 Kyodo News Hai Tokinominoru Kinen third Aim And End (Eishin Flash) and the second dam of the G3 Unicorn Stakes winner Smasher (Majestic Warrior).

Well done I looked at that horse probably due to the big div it was paying, also Hope's trotter, but didn't end up having a bet unfortunately, nice big fields there, did you have the inside word on willow, didn't have much form to speak of, but a good draw, thought it may have paid a bit more, but nothing wrong with 50s, good work.
