Trentham Race 2 - Harcourts 3Yo

KOMOCEAN (4) the filly is yet to be beaten on raceday. Has won on dry and wet footing. The hat-trick looms large here. KERETI (3) broke through for his Maiden win over 1000m at Tauherenikau fresh up. She gets an overseas rider atop. Serious chance in this field. HONEY BADGER (5) is a talented filly who finished 3.5 lengths behind Hitabell over 1600m in the G2 Ladies' Mile (Eight Carat Classic) at Ellerslie. Blinkers go on today. Multiple class dropper here. Wet tracker so far. Still a main threat. BALLON D'OR (1) he is racing well. Trifecta and first four chance drawn the ace again. ALBAROSSA (2) won well at his last start and can measure up again here. Not to be overlooked. SPECIAL SAKURA (6) she can handle dry and wet ground. Drawn out but has upside.

First-up after five months won by 0.8 len at Tauherenikau January 2 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Tycoon Boss carrying 57kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at Otaki in the LR City Of Napier Stakes on July 27 over 1200m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Read About It carrying 57kg at $13. Good win fresh up.

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, favourite; won by 2 len at New Plymouth Raceway December 5 over 1100m in the wet defeating Royal Sovereigns with 55.5kg at $5. Last time out favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.75 len at this track December 21 over 1200m defeating Ballon D'or with 55kg at $2.40. Yet to be beaten. Has won on dry and wet footing. The hat-trick looms large.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at Ellerslie in the G2 Ladies' Mile (Eight Carat Classic) on December 26 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Hitabell with 56.5kg at $23.20. The start before that got back early 7th of 12 at Ellerslie in the G3 Bonecrusher Stakes on December 7 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Sethito carrying 55kg at $21.80. Multiple class dropper. Wet tracker so far. Still a main threat.

At debut, won by 1.5 len at Otaki December 19 over 1200m defeating Chisora carrying 53kg at $7.90. Second-up raced on the pace before fading second last of 12 at Otaki on January 6 over 1400m, on a slow track; 17 len behind Stipulator with 55.5kg at $4.60. Poor at last start. Drawn better. Dry tracker so far. Riding change can help.
