Provided he pulls up okay after the trip he will be starting," said former trainer and part-owner Bruce Tapper.

The residential rental market appears to be holding steady, with the number of properties rented in April following its usual seasonal course while rents held on to the gains made at the start of the year. The latest rental data from Tenancy Services shows it received 11,157 tenancy bonds in April, down slightly from the 11,802 it received in April last year. Bonds are usually lodged at the start of a tenancy and their numbers tend to peak over summer and then decline over the winter months.
