Matamata Race 2 - ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES
HONOUR ROLL (1) showed pace to lead when making his debut at Tauherenikau before finishing a game third in early February. He has won a trial since then, and on his home track, he will be hard to beat, especially if the track is wet. AVENTUS (2) has made the necessary improvement from his first trial, winning his latest hit-out near the end of last month. Use the market as your best guide. THE QUEEN'S SWORD (10) makes her debut with the advantage of her home track. She hails from the powerful Walker/Bergerson stable and won a recent trial, which is usually a recipe for instant success. Watch closely, despite copping a wide draw. TARDIS (3) was put aside after making his debut in stakes company. He won a recent trial, and he will be ready to rumble.

Resumes after a spell of nine weeks. Only had one run in the maiden prep and was easily accounted for over 1200m at this track. Sure to have improved over the break so he can feature.

Two-year-old filly on debut. Has had four trials leading into this, most recently finishing in the placings at Te Awamutu over 850m. Pay to keep an eye of the betting despite a difficult draw.
