Waverley Race 3 - LEICA LUCY - REGAL LODGE
TURFQUAKE (2) finished third here on debut in the spring, and his next couple of starts were also not too bad. He won a recent trial, and his trial form suggests that he will win a race at some stage. He meets an even field here, and he should go close to taking this out. POROTENE TIGER (3) has steadily improved in each of his 3 starts to date. The step up from 1400m to 1650m is ideal, and from a handy gate, he will be hard to hold out. Each-way. VANILLA STORM (7) made an encouraging debut at Pukekohe and then ran another good race here just over 3 weeks ago. She will be at her peak fitness now, and the extra 250m should suit her, and she can figure in the top 3 here. SILVER PATCH (5) had plenty of trial experience before needing the run on debut at Matamata nearly 3 weeks ago. He is bred to improve with racing, and he is worth including in all top 4 combinations. VINCERO (1) hit the line hard when resuming at Tauherenikau and he will improve sharply second up. Stick with him.

Was prominent throughout at Tauherenikau last time and lifted strongly to finish a close second over 1600m. Should be thereabouts.

Returns from a break. Sharpened with a trial win at Avondale. Opened last campaign with a third at this track over 1400m. Everything points to a effective return.

Yet to break through in three runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 3 lengths back in fifth over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed to break the ice.

Was beaten a fair way on debut last time out when eighth over 1400m at Matamata. Has upside and may pay to follow up.

Beaten 0.9 lengths into third at Tauherenikau two starts ago then appeared at this track last time and finished 3 lengths from the winner in seventh. Sure to be thereabouts.
