Ellerslie Race 4 - Skycity Star Way Stakes (L)

STORM FRONT (1) was an easy winner at debut. Trial third here earlier this month so ready to resume. He has upside galore. Can remain unbeaten. TORETTO (2) is a course winner. Placed in both of his fresh up runs. Easy trial winner recently. Threat in this. LITTLE BLACK DRESS (9) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1200m at Pukekohe four weeks ago. She had trialled well twice prior too. She has upside galore. LADY IRIS (8) very good winner on debut over 1050m at Matamata four weeks ago. The filly had trialled well twice prior too. She has upside galore. STEEZY (10) has been runner up in both starts so far. Drawn wide again. Cannot be left out anywhere here.

At long odds at debut, second last of 8 at this track on February 22 over 1100m, slow going 5.5 len behind Lucy In The Sky with 57.5kg at $40.10. Last start 2nd of 9 at Waverley on April 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind Dazz with 55kg at $4.20. Drawn out and this is a lot harder too. Too many here are far superior.

First starter by Contributer out of Lady Of Spain. Twice trialled for a third and a fourth. Dam has left five winning foals with Mystical Star (8 wins) the most prolific. Too many here are more experienced.
