Te Aroha Race 2 - MARK ANDERSON MEMORIAL MAIDEN 2YO
SWORD OF STARS (5) has finished runner-up in both of her starts to date, and each time she has been sent out as the favourite. She has the experience edge over her rivals, and with the blinkers on for the first time, she can set the record straight. Follow your money, especially as she has the pole position. COOL IN COMMAND (2) is a stablemate of the top pick, and he has won his latest trial at Avondale last month. A wide draw is no help, but he won't be a maiden for long. IMPERIAL ROSE (8) makes her debut from a good draw, and she looked in good condition when finishing second at a recent trial. Check the market. PEGGY SUE (10) is on debut and has the breeding to suggest she will improve with more time. She looked sharp at a recent trial, and with the aid of a 3kg claim from a good gate, she can give this a shake. ALOHAMOANA (6) showed pace on debut before weakening to finish a well beaten third. She won a trial before that, and should naturally improve with the run. Stick with her.

Caught the eye in her only trial when she finished second at Avondale. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks a big chance on debut.

Turn Me Loose filly from the stakes-winning mare Brix. Fitter for a recent trial hit-out and stable strike-rate with debutantes is strong. Worth considering.
