Central Districts filly No Rain Ever bounced back from an uncharacteristically poor performance seven days ago at Riccarton to secure a hard fought stakes victory when taking out the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Warstep Stakes (2000m).

After finishing second at his first two starts at Randwick and Caulfield, Perspiration made short work of six opponents in Saturday’s $150,000 Asset Painting Services Mornington Sires (1100m) to ring up the eighth winner from the first crop of Too Darn Hot (GB).
