Trainer Successful at Home - The North Central Review 18/5/10

Rokonya, a five-year-old daughter of Shagny and Blushing Rose, was an all the way winner of the second division of Sportingbet 0-62 Handicap (1200m).

When most riders went wide on the turn, stable apprentice, Stacey Rawiller, stuck to the rails and kicked the mare four lengths clear on straightening and held on to defeat the fast-finishing favourite, Lonhrielle, by a half-length with Biscay Steel two lengths away, third.

Part-owned by Macpherson, Rokonya was having her second start this prep with the win her fourth from 21 starts.  She has also been runner-up on three occasions.
