New Plymouth Friday February 18

Race 2 SOPHMAZE: Well-regarded filly who would have learnt a lot from her debut third. Looks the one to beat on her home track.

Ellerslie Saturday February 19

Race 2 BONNY LASS: Forgive her last-start fifth when doing too much work from a wide gate. Well drawn and nicely in at the weights, can bounce back to form.

Invercargill Saturday February 19

Race 9 TYLER EIGHT: Only unplaced effort was down to bad luck, form otherwise exemplary. Has form on the track and gets relief with 3kg claimer on board.

Hastings Sunday February 20

Race 3 LOVE LETTER: Big last-start effort for third in Desert Gold Stakes. Up against older rivals but has class on her side.
