Sailor Jack, who has ticked over nicely since his synthetic track win early last month, did nice work at Awapuni on Thursday morning.
All fast gallops during a light session were on the plough, where Sailor Jack had co-trainer Hazel Schofer aboard over 1400 metres, being timed from the 1000m in 1.6.5, the last 600 in 38.8.
The seven-year-old, who looks in great condition, will continue his latest campaign in the r86 2040m at Wanganui on Saturday and be ridden again by Kavish Chowdhoory.
Time honours this morning went to Mark Oulaghan-trained maiden Rosemary Fizz, who covered 1000m in 1.1.7, coming the final 800m in 49.3, the last 600 in 36.9.
The four-year-old mare (by Staphanos), unplaced in five starts so far, has not raced since early June.
Wanganui acceptor Ruffhouse Rosie (r65 2040m No 2) ran 800m in 54.2, the last 600 in 37.8, and two races in a new campaign have her forward.
Unraced five-year-old mare Basslock (by Shocking) caught the eye with her 1000m in 1.6.6, the last 600 in 39 seconds even. She is with Mark Oulaghan.
Four-year-old maiden gelding Craftsman (by Alamosa), unplaced in four starts so far, ran 1000m in 1.13.1, the last 600 in 40.8.
His stablemate Showbastian Coe, in the r75 1200m at Wanganui, was not after time, with 800m in 55.6, the last 600 in 40.4.
French Doll (r65 1200m) and Rushin Home (mdn 1340m), two more from the Breslin barn racing on Saturday, did little more than three-quarter pace over 800m, the last 600 in 43.3.
