Speight's Great Easter Stakes (LR)

WT: 53kg Type: OPEN

This Listed 1400m Open Handicap saw a former North Island trained mare in Twoznotenough remain unbeaten in the South Island since changing yards. The 6yo mare had won at Riverton against her own sex earlier in April and then today versus all comers scored on the minimum of 53kg by three-quarters of a length in 1:26.81. She led up and never looked like getting headed to record her seventh win in twenty-nine starts in what was her second attempt at blacktype. Twoznotenough has finished fourth at G3 on her former home track of New Plymouth four runs ago over 1800m when beaten just over a length. Six of her seven career wins have come at 1300m-1400m. Maybe Miami chased in vain for second under topweight of 60kg having prior gone his first ordinary race for the year. Meursault ran on well for third from last on settling albeit beaten over five lengths. Ringo the favourite finished fourth beaten five and a half lengths but the effort was much better than it sounds as he was wide throughout in the open carrying 59kg. It always looks bad when a runner is caught wide fourth then third in the open in such a small field and Ringo was no exception and he surely would have been in the money but for the overlander. The rest were ordinary the run home in what was not a strong field overall.
