Ellerslie Race 1 - Tab Mdn
TAJANA (7) will find this a much easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten half a length at the end of 1200m in the G3 Ford 2YO Classic at this track. Looks the winner in this. MISS ZIGGY (6) was doing her best work late last start to get up for third over 1200m in the LR Karaka Million at this track. Racing well. Class dropper. Quinella and trifecta chance. CURZON PARK (1) ran well in last two runs then got spelled. Drawn out for resumption. Trifecta and first four chance here. LUCY IN THE SKY (9) is a first-starter by Hello Youmzain from Too Many Diamonds who has been a fine producer including winners at Black type level. Dam has left four winning foals with Ruud Not Too (6 wins) the most prolific. Has only trialled once and won at Ellerslie. LOLLAPALOOZA (8) is a two-year-old filly (El Roca - Carnival) on debut. Has been trialled twice for a win (here) and a second. Drawn wide but not out of this.

First-starter by El Roca out of Mirror Mirror. Not seen on the trial track yet so hard to assess. Dam has left two winning foals with Set Us Free (5 wins) the most prolific.
