Failing to reach reserve in an online auction might yet prove a blessing for connections of South Auckland galloper Fire Jet.

Class galloper Hiflyer lived up to the pre-race hype when he lumped 61.5kgs to victory at Ruakaka in the day’s open sprint, the Clansman Hotel Bream Bay Bowl (1200m).

For the second week in a row, Peter and Dawn Williams will mount an offensive against in-form sprinter Close Up on two fronts.

With a start in the Gr.1 Sistema Railway Stakes ruled out, Fire Jet will leave nothing in the tank when he tackles Monday's Listed Hallmark Stud Handicap (1200m) at Ellerslie.

The connections of Natuzzi are happy to let the veteran sprinter have the final say on the direction of his current campaign.
