The Allan Sharrock trained, Don't Ya Lovett (Lord Ballina x Sea Huntress) continued his fine winter form, with a comfortable victory in the Listed Waikato Stud Opunake Cup (1400m) at Hawera on Saturday.

The six-year-old son of Lord Ballina was piloted by Opie Bosson, making his run out wide in the better going, to score by a length and three-quarters from Floydeboy (Mellifont x Fleche D'or) and Bulginbaah (Strajo x Lady Tristimus).

The victory was win number 10 from 20 starts for Don't Ya Lovett, who will possibly tackle the Gr.3 Winter Cup at Riccarton next month, a race he won last year. A tilt at the Gr. 2 Liston Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on August 19 is also being considered.

Don't Ya Lovett was purchased by Sharrock at the 2001 Karaka Festival Sale for NZ$41,000 from the draft of Ardsley Stud. Runner up, Floydeboy was sold at the same sale for $16,000 to Bernie McDonald from the draft of Paramount Lodge.

Meanwhile at Ellerslie in Auckland on Saturday, the Craig Thornton trained Electrostatic (Elnadim x Echostatic) took out the juvenile event in fine style, winning the Bladerunner 2YO (1200m) by 3 lengths from Dan's Best (Black Minnaloushe x Nothing Less), who made up good ground in the straight.

The two-year-old filly broke through for her maiden victory in the hands of Ryan Allwood, enjoying a trail behind the leaders before powering away from her rivals in the straight. A graduate of last year's New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale, Electrostatic is well related, being a half sister to stakes winners, Singalong, Penny Arcade and Coup Ray.
