Fast work was on the outside of the course proper again, just a few metres in from where Tuesday's gallops were held.

Confide and last-start synthetic track winner Love Janie were paired over 1000m in 1.6.1, with the final 800m taking 50.1, the last 600 in 35.9.

Confide is improving all the time, getting fitter by the day, and should be among the dividends at Wanganui on Sunday (mdn 2060m).

Love Janie is likely to have her next start in the $75,000 Polytrack Championship (2000m) at Cambridge next Friday.

Sweettest, who has been working solidly, covered 1000m in 1.6.3, coming the final 800m in 51.1, the last 600 in 36.1, and Platinum Attack went 800m in 51.4, the last 600 in 37.1.

Merroca and Madame Labeel, maidens with Roydon Bergerson, ran 1000m in 1.11.1, the last 600 in 39.5, and Pinkerton went alone in 1.9.2 and 40 seconds even.

He’s A Doozy was timed 800m in 56.8, the last 600 in 40.5, while Wonderboy and unraced three-year-old Sauron (by Per Incanto) did 1000m together in 1.10.8, the last 600 in 40.6.

Wanganui acceptor Ocean Melody (r65 2060m) was kept to 1000m in 1.12.2, the last 600 in 40.6, and Semper Magico required 1.11.2 and 41.1. Chelsea Rose ran 600m in 43.4.
