After going close to winning the Sandown Cup with Swacadelic, trainer Aaron Purcell has pressed on with the stayers preparation, hoping he can go one better at Pakenham.Swacadelic is among 23 nominations for Saturdays Listed $200,000 Pakenham Cup (2500m) and the Warrnambool trainer has called on Craig Williams to ride the imported stayer for the first time.I like to mix it up, Purcell said.A lot of the guys who have ridden him before are in Perth for the big race there on Saturday.Swacadelic is dropping back in distance from the 3200m of the Sandown Cup in which he failed bu a half neck to catch Godolphins English visitor Qewy.He drew well and it was a race that looked like Qewy was going to get a cheap lead, Purcell said.I think we got out in time and had our chance but the winner was just too strong on the day. But obviously he ran quite well.The Sandown Cup was the aim and he pulled up really well after that race so we thought wed keep him going and this was the next suitable race.Purcell said the three weeks from Sandown to Saturday fitted in well because the gelding is coming back in distance.And I think the Pakenham track with a long home straight should suit him quite well, he said.He said Swacadelic was fit so he had just kept the horse training without working him as hard for the shorter race which is at the lower end of his best distance range.I havent done anything special, just kept him going and hes definitely ready to go again, he said.Swacadelic will be chasing his first win since April when he scored over 2530m at Flemington.Ballarat Cup winner Pilote DEssai will be after another Cup while Puccini, fourth at Ballarat, is the highest-rated entry.Purcell said the draw would determine where Swacadelic settled in the race.Pakenham is a track where you can make ground in the home straight so well definitely be going there thinking were a winning chance no matter where we draw, he said.Purcell has lightly raced mare Written Era nominated for two Pakenham races and one at Warrnambool on Thursday and said his preference was the fillies and mares benchmark-78 (1400m) at Pakenham.Written Era has won four of her eight starts including her past two at Ballarat and Warrnambool.Fake NMD R1 For Sale .

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark".The ability to adapt quickly to unfamiliar conditions was crucial to New Zealands victory in the first Test over Zimbabwe, according to coach Mike Hesson. He praised Neil Wagner and BJ Watling for assessing the Bulawayo surface, which did not offer much pace or bounce but grew abrasive as the game went on, and working out how to succeed on it.Wagners career-best 6 for 41 was headlined by his short-ball barrage, an unusual sight at Queens, where most seamers stick to simple plans and wait for a mistake. But Wagner bent his back and attacked Zimbabwes line-up in the first innings and the early parts of the second, before adjusting his strategy and searching for reverse-swing as the ball aged.Although his second-innings returns were a third of his first innings, it showed his dual use as a wicket-taker, with both new and old ball, something that has come with being more certain of his game.When he came up three or four years ago he was excited and keen to make an impression. He probably didnt stick to his gameplan for too long but hes a lot more experienced now and hes certainly got the confidence of the captain, Hesson said. Hes able to change his game, as we saw. He can swing the new ball if hes given it. He can certainly reverse the old one and we know he can bowl bumpers. Especially on unresponsive surfaces, hes a good bowler.Equally good but less celebrated was Watling, whose century did not get the same attention as Tom Lathams or Ross Taylors, perhaps because it came after theirs. Watlings was the fastest of the three hundreds and ensured the game did not drift at a time when Zimbabwes wearing bowlers were focused on containing. Watling tired them out even more, pierced the gaps and rotated strike with intent.He is incredibly perceptive. He is one of the few players that can adapt technique mid-game, Hesson said.ddddddddddddHe makes subtle changes to his grip. He is a very talented and very hard-working cricketer.Some conversations around the match spoke of Watling being the best wicket-keeper batsman in Test cricket at the moment, a label Hesson would not mind endorsing. His keeping in very tough conditions, in the subcontinent, in England, has been exceptional for us. He often bats with the tail and he has an ability to eke out as many runs as possible. Were not going to trade him for anyone, Hesson said.Overall, Hesson assessed New Zealands performance as very thorough, with both batsmen and bowlers executing the patience plan as intended. We talked about playing the long game. We did that. We also showed how important the new ball was. We can be a little bit impatient with the ball at times but I am clutching to find some work-ons. Before hand, we said 20 wickets would be tough to take so were pleased that we did it.New Zealand will have Monday off before spending a night at Heath Streaks farm outside Bulawayo and will then return to training on Thursday in preparation for the second Test which starts on Saturday. Doubtless, they will be eyeing a clean sweep in Zimbabwe before moving on to South Africa, where they will face a tougher challenge in their bid to keep climbing the rankings.These two series are a chance for us as a group to gain some of the ground that we lost a few months ago against Australia, Hesson said. We had gone eight series without a loss before we faced them at home and away. Before that, we had gained a lot of ground and then we lost some. ' ' '
