CUP PROSPECT ITCHING TO RETURN
Progressive stayer Mosquito will return to action at Ellerslie later this month on a preparation aimed at the Gr.1 Auckland Cup.
“His half-sister Tin Goose ran third in it and she was half his size and had half of his ability so we think he can be a serious contender,” co-trainer Donna Logan said. “He’ll run on the 26th after a stint in the paddock.”
Mosquito has won his last three starts and was given a break following his latest victory over 2100 metres at Ruakaka earlier last month.
His well-performed sprinting stablemate Durham Town is also making good strides toward his re-appearance. “He’ll kick off at Rotorua in the weight-for-age sprint,” Logan said.
