By the middle of 2023, the Stuff Circuit team filed what they believed was a near-finished product.

She’s very tough and she’s tried to battle her way through it. Aegon chased hard and ate into the margin late in the piece, with Desert Lightning sticking on bravely in third, but La Crique triumphed by a length-and-a-quarter.

There are eight fewer retail businesses in the CBD, compared to 2020, a council survey of the town's health has shown.
