A good solo gallop by last start winner Abeecee and a solid workout from Sicarius and Bella Signora were among the highlights at this morning’s Hastings trackwork session.

Fast work was confined to the plough, which provided heavy footing after steady overnight rain.

Abeecee had trainer Caitlin Johnson aboard when running 1000m in 1:12.6, coming home the last 600 I 39.1. The Belardo mare looks to have trained on the right way since winning at Woodville and is likely to contest the Waipukurau Cup (2100m) on Sunday.

Sicarius and Bella Signora worked together over 800m in 54.1, the last 600 in 39.3 and both horses were hitting out well at the finish. Sicarius was a good last start second over 2100 metres at Woodville and will race over the same distance at Waipukurau on Sunday.

Meridivaci was another who worked well on his own when running 1200m in 1:21.1, clocking 43.1 for the first 600m before quickening over the last 600 in 38. He is another entered for the maiden 2100m race at Waipukurau.

Katsu, entered for the maiden 1600m race at Waipukurau, clocked 1:11.1 for a solo 1000m, the last 600 in 39.9 while stablemate Lady Chandon ran 1200m in 1:25.1, the last 600 in 40.1.

Miss Molly Brown had co-trainer Mick Brown aboard when running800m in 56.2, the last 600 in 41 while Charlunga worked over a round on his own and was timed to run the last 1200m in 1:24.7 and final 600 in 41.4.

Stranger was kept to just three-quarter pace over 1000m, running the last 600 in 45.4 while Kalila was also not hurried when running 600m in 43.1.

An Armory three-year-old gelding trained by Aaron Bidlake worked with a Mongolian Falcon three-year-old gelding over 800m, the last 600 in 42.8 while Creation ended his work with 1000m in 1:15.7, the last 600 in 44.

Bold Affair clocked 42.7 for 600m while Bellbia ran over the same ground in 42.5.
