1. Young’s Prairiwinds Dream Maker. Attractive and well balanced head with expressive dark almond eyes all giving a pleasing expression. Nicely balanced outline, good reach of neck flowing into well laid shoulders, firm topline with slight rise over loins and well angulated hindquarters. Scored highly on his movement, moved out with a confident air and a springy side action whilst holding his topline. Shown in good coat and condition.

2. Grocock’s Aus Carnwath Coolangatta Gold For Havalag (Imp) Au. Masculine head which is well proportioned with an attractive expression. Medium length of neck, nicely proportioned body and good hindquarters. Plenty of coat but not quite in full bloom. I don’t think he had his mind on showing today which showed in his tail carriage and although he moved out steadily, he didn’t move out as confidently as the winner.

Good reach of neck flowing into well laid shoulders, well-bodied and well developed quarters. Nicely presented soft silky coat. On the go around he didn’t quite have the fluidity of winner and could carry tail a bit higher.

VB (2,1abs)

1. Grocock’s Auskrest Elusive Charm At Havalag. Lovely head and expression on this mature lady. Well-made body with a good forehand and well ribbed body with slight arch over the loin giving her a nicely balanced outline. Seemed to have her mind on other things today, but when she concentrated she moved out well, in fact she showed much better in the bitch challenge than her own class and really got into her stride. Happy to award her Best veteran.

Loved her head, so pretty with good balance, lovely eyes and expression. Neck, shoulders and topline all flowing nicely with well-made hindquarters and good tail set on.
