Te Rapa Race 2 - AMBIENT GROUP 3YO

HONEY BADGER (2) she won by daylight at last start and looks a filly with further improvement to come. Drops back to 1100m here but it may not matter. Can win again. TRISTAR (1) won narrowly but well fresh up. The filly can handle it both dry and wet. Still on the way up and looks a quinella and trifecta must. BRAZEN AFFAIR (4) ran a close second fresh up. The filly will pose a threat here. PARAVANE (5) deadset bolted in fresh up and has many more wins in store. She can cope with being up in class here. Half sister to Sword Of State (6 wins). PLEASING (3) is an on-pacer. Small field size suits her racing style. Well drawn.
