Matamata Race 3 - CLOTHIER FARMS 1050
ZAHARIAS (6) ended her promising juvenile campaign with an unplaced effort in the Karaka Millions. She has won the latest of a couple of tune-up trials, and on her home track in maiden company, she is the one to beat, especially with Grylls up. GENEVA QUEEN (2) is the stable mate of the top pick, and her best run was on debut when finishing second here in March. She has trialled up, and will be a lot stronger this season. Each way. MANGO LANE (9) won her only trial to date by a wide margin, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, she can make an immediate impact if no too green. CARNELIAN (11) is a local filly making her debut from the coveted pole position. Respect any market confidence.

Hasn't shown anything positive in 12 career starts. Last time out finished 11th over 2000m at Cambridge Synthetic. Not likely to play a role.

Three-year-old filly on debut, by Capitalist from Loving Gracie. Trialled just once and arrived home well ahead of her rivals at Te Awamutu. Ready to run type who looks a top 4 contender.
