Taupo Race 2 - GILTRAP AGRIZONE - TAUPO
PASSIFLORA (2) has plenty of natural pace, but was ridden cold fresh up at Trentham just over 3 weeks ago and ran on strongly for second. She won a trial well enough before that, and in an easier assignment, she is the one to beat for us. LITTLE BLACK DRESS (1) was good enough to finish fourth in the G1 1000 Guineas at Riccarton in the spring. She resumes with a quiet trial under her belt, and if 1200m is not too short for her, then she will be hard to hold out. LADY IRIS (4) tracked the speed and fought hard for third as the favourite at Tauherenikau 16 days ago. She strips fitter, and should be a top 3 chance in this. Follow your money. LUCY IN THE SKY (3) has won third up in the past, and with Warren Kennedy in the irons, she is ready to put her best hoof forward in this. Each way.

Yet to hit her straps in two runs this time in work, the latest effort a ninth over 1200m at Ellerslie. Capable enough and is worth serious consideration.

Was prominent throughout at Tauherenikau last time and lifted strongly to finish a close third over 1000m. Brings solid form to this contest. Big chance.
