Tauherenikau Race 2 - Pope & Gray Contractors Mdn
OUR SNIPER (1) is a two-start Maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1200m at Wanganui. Has upside and gets his chance to break through. WAR PRINCESS (3) is appearing for the first time. Filly by U S Navy Flag and is out of the Peter Didham stable. Proved too sharp in a recent Woodville trial. Any push in betting should be respected. BRUTIFUL LASS (4) is on debut for the Lisa Latta stable. Filly by Brutal from Glamaroo. Has a Foxton trial placing to her credit. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. SHAMELESS STAR (6) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Peter Didham. By Shamexpress from Zuma. Comes here off a Woodville trial placing. Top-three chance. SEADUCTION (2) is a two-year-old gelding making his debut by Shocking out of Setsail. Was second in a Foxton barrier trial over 850m on December 17 then followed up with a third in a Foxton barrier trial over 850m on January 14. Well drawn.
