Avondale Race 2 - TULLOCH CAFÉ 2YO SW+P 1000M
WITH A VENGEANCE (3) is a colt by Exceed And Excel out of Eleusa, who is making his debut off the back of 2 trial wins, including the latest about a month ago at Ellerslie. On top in this. RUPENI (1) is a first-starter by Home Affairs out of Yolanda. He won his only public trial at Te Rapa like a true professional about 2 weeks ago, and he will be ready to rumble here. STATE OF VALOUR (2) is on debut. By Sword Of State, and hails from the astute Chad Ormsby stable. He won his only trial on the same day as the second pick in a quicker time. Hard to beat from a handy gate. URCHELLA (6) is making her debut with the advantage of a good draw and a 3kg claim. Watch closely.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Readied for this with a dominant trial win, scoring by 3.5 lengths at Te Rapa over 730m on September 23. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks ready to make an immediate impact with the assistance of an inside draw.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old filly by Embellish out of Bonnie Sareeh. At the most recent trial finished fifth on September 23 at Cambridge over 730m. Hard to tip her with any confidence at debut.
