Ashburton Race 8 - BARNESWOOD FARM STAKES
MISS STARLIGHT (5) remained unbeaten in 3 starts when stepping up in class and beating a few of her rivals here by nearly 2 lengths in the List Canterbury Belle Stakes at Riccarton 4 weeks ago. An extra furlong won't bother her, and she can win again. COOL AZA RENE (6) was well beaten behind the top pick last time out, and has been back to the trials since then. She is too good to drop just yet. BELLE DU MONDE (7) was a narrow but game winner fresh up at Riccarton, which made her favourite at her next start against the top pick. She raced flat that day, and may have already been looking for more ground. She can bounce back immediately in this. ALOTTAGO (1) has posted a couple of narrow wins to start this prep, and even though he is facing another class rise here, he can be ruled out of completing a hat-trick. EL VAQUERO (2) had no answer to the fourth pick last time out after setting the pace. Stick with him. MISS ZIGGY (8) was a deserved maiden winner last start.

At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 9 at Riccarton Park on September 27 over 1400m, 4 len behind Alottago with 58kg at $6.30. Before that won by 1.3 len at Riccarton Park August 2 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating Fourofus carrying 57kg at $2. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Third-up today. First-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at Riccarton Park on August 30 over 1000m, on a slow track; head behind Belle Du Monde with 57kg at $2.30. Last start 8th of 12 at Riccarton Park in the LR Canterbury Belle Stakes on September 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Miss Starlight carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Terrific chance to return to form.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Phar Lap Racecourse on September 7 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Alottago with 55.5kg at $2.40. Second-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Riccarton Park September 27 over 1400m defeating Quisiera with 54kg at $2.80. Must respect her after a good win last time out.
