Trentham Race 8 - Courtesy Ford Manawatu Sires' Produce 2Yo (G1)
LA DORADA (6) is racing superbly. She has won on dry and wet footing and should relish the rise to 1400m in this. The one to beat undoubtedly. LANDLOCK (1) he is racing very well so far. Has been G1 and G2 placed. Top tier must in this line-up drawn the ace. TO BRAVERY BORN (2) has not gone a poor race so far. A couple looks better in this but that is all. Include the colt everywhere. TALE OF THE GYPSY (9) has a wide draw. Good run at her last start in a G1. Trifecta and first four must still in this field. VEGA FOR LUCK (3) this is his first run left-handed. Well drawn. Place and first four hope.

Last start won by a long-neck at Waverley March 6 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Odds And Ends with 57.5kg at $4. Much harder here. Drawn wide. Looking elsewhere.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; won by 0.5 len at Matamata G2 Matamata Breeders' Stakes February 15 over 1200m in soft going defeating To Cap It All with 56.5kg at $1.80. The start before that favourite; won by 1.75 len at Ellerslie in LR Karaka Million January 25 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Vega For Luck with 55kg at $3.40. Racing superbly. Has won on dry and wet. Should relish the rise to 1400m.

Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at Ellerslie in the LR Karaka Million January 25 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind La Dorada carrying 55kg at $5. At her first start won by head this track October 27 over 900m in the wet defeating Almakeitgood carrying 53kg at $8. Fresh up. Course winner. Twice trialled so ready. Wide gate here is an issue.

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. On debut, favourite; won by 2 len at Tauherenikau February 6 over 1000m in soft going defeating Brutiful Lass with 55.5kg at $5.90. Last time out favourite; won by 2.5 len at Wanganui March 15 over 1200m defeating Cashla Bay carrying 55kg at $2.60. Unbeaten on raceday and at the trials. She may be special. Be very tote wary.
