As a NZ Cup contender, Pic Me Pockets was always on the list but nowhere near the top. After all, some 22 open class horses and last year's Auckland Cup winner Flight South are chasing those 15 spots on Cup Day, and prior to last Friday's meeting at Addington Pic Me Pockets still needed two wins to join them. He only needs one now.
The In The Pocket 6-year-old beat home a star -studded field in the $25,000 Nobilo Pace - albeit after enjoying the trail - and showed what he was capable of against the big boys. It was a welcome return to form for the same horse that won last year's Messenger and Franklin Cup.
