Grader of the Year Nadurra Alvaro (Ace Hi Rumble-Westmead Joy, Jul 10) has returned to form with consecutive victories at Shawfield.

Now racing manager Daniel Rankin is hoping to see what his pups can do.

He said: “They are currently being schooled and should be on the card shortly.

“In fact, there are a few litters on their way. Robert Thompson planned a litter, had two bitches mated expecting at least one to miss and ended up with 17 pups, though they are still some way off racing age.”
