Ellerslie Race 2 - THE LAWN SHED 1200
FATAL AFFAIR (8) was beaten as a hot favourite here on debut 2 weeks ago off the back of some very impressive trial form. She raced greenly that day, and will be much better with that experience on board. She can set the record straight here, so follow your money. BALLERINA (7) is bred to improve with more time so her fresh up effort for fourth was full of merit. She will probably be already looking for more ground, but she does cop nice swing in her draw here, and she can figure in the top 3. INTAN (9) won her only public trial last month under her own steam, and she will have Michael McNab in the saddle, which is a strong lead from her stable. If not too green, she can make an immediate impact. Check the market. SHE'S NO SAINT (6) won a trial before peaking on her fresh up run here 2 weeks ago. Expect her to finish a lot closer this time. Include. JUDY'S SMARTIES (1) has improved in each of his 4 trials this year, winning the latest of those, and he is ready to rumble on debut.

Two-year-old colt on debut. Has had four trials leading into this, scoring most recently at Taupo over 900m. Beautifully drawn so may well pay to keep safe.

Two-year-old gelding on debut. Has trialled okay heading into this. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Tony Pike. Worth watching for any market confidence.

Unraced 2yo gelding who has trialled twice. Impressive trial win on May 19 at Taupo over 1100m. Don't rule him out.

Rebel Dane gelding from Jazz Star on debut. Fitter for a recent trial hit-out. Tough assignment.

Beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth when resuming last start over 1100m at this track. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Won a trial and then overcame difficulties in running to finish fifth on debut over 1100m at this track. Expect improvement on that effort. Expect her to run well.

Daughter of Shamexpress from Max It Out on debut. Looked good in a recent trial win and stable strike-rate with debutantes is strong. Shapes as a leading prospect.
