Wanganui Race 6 - THE O'LEARYS FILLIES STAKES
WAR PRINCESS (1) beat 3 others at Hawera in her penultimate start, and then franked that form by beating a similar field to this at Tauranga 4 weeks ago, when charging home to score by a short-head. She is shaping up to be a very handy filly, and the hat-trick beckons. LUBECK (2) is a very progressive filly who looked all over the winner before being bloused out by the top pick last start. She has been back to the trials since then and has a great chance to turn the tables here. TELLUM (3) is also chasing a hat-trick of wins, after posting a maiden win and then a BM65 victory in successive starts. Stick with her. CIRCUS DANCER (4) showed a lot of heart to win as the favourite on debut at New Plymouth just over 5 weeks ago. This is a lot tougher, but she has earned her spot and has to be respected. FAIRY DREAM (6) won as expected on the Cambridge poly track when having her first start in September. She has been on ice since then, and a bold run is on the cards. Each way.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a head at Tauranga November 1 over 1200m in soft going defeating Lubeck carrying 56.5kg at $4.30. The start before that won by 3 len at Hawera October 4 over 1200m in the wet defeating Belzoni with 56kg at $1.40. In form and certainly worth following up.
