Te Awamutu trainer Graeme Sanders is looking forward to a tilt at this Saturday’s $200,000 Plati- num Holmes Wellington Cup at Trentham. Skysoblue hit top form 12 months ago, racing through the grades with five wins from six starts over ground, including a double at Ellerslie. She was well-placed by Sanders with use being made of the apprentice claims of riders Dylan and Phillip Turner during her winning streak. ‘‘The thing is to try to get in these big races with Korakonui/Te Awamutu 1008 Wharepuhunga Road a light weight and we’ve used the apprentice claim A Rare Find in This Location to do that,’’ says Sanders. Handy to both Te Awamutu and Otorohanga this attractive north facing grazing property of 90 hectares (more or less, subject to Skysoblue has had four survey) must be viewed to truly appreciate. Rarely do properties of this size and in this location present themselves to the open starts this campaign, pro- market.
