Riccarton Race 3

BAIN MCCALL MEMORIAL TWO-YEAR-OLD

Stake: $35,000

COOL AZA RENE (1) won narrowly well fresh up. Has won three of four starts and one of those came here. Her miss came at G2. She is course proven and a 3kg claim today helps. Drawn well and looks the winner once again. EL VAQUERO (2) was a close second last start behind the top pick in this. Well drawn this time. The main danger once again. KIWI MAGIC (3) is a two-year-old gelding (Shocking - Kiwi Ida) on debut. Has had four trials for three placings and a fourth. Drawn to be a place and first four chance. SU'PAR IRISH (7) is on debut. She is by Super Seth and is out of the Samantha Wynne stable. Comes here off an Ashburton trial placing. Dam has left three winning foals with Mr Marrakech (2 wins) most prolific. Barrier an advantage. Looks set for bold showing. TAIMATE WARRIOR (8) is a filly by War Decree facing the starter for the first time. Twice trialled for a fourth then a second. Dam has left our winning foals with Glamorgan Babe (4 wins) the most prolific. Not out of this.

First-up after five months favourite; won by a head at Wingatui June 1 over 820m on a heavy track defeating El Vaquero with 56kg at $3. Previously second-up favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track November 13 over 1000m defeating Miss Ziggy with 56kg at $1.30. Drawn well. Course proven. A 3kg claim helps. Drawn well. Looks the winner again.

When well in the market at debut, couldn't go on with it; 8th of 12 at Riverton on April 19 over 1100m, on a wet track; 12 len behind Four The Moment with 54kg at $3.30. Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 11 at Wingatui on June 1 over 820m, in the wet; head behind Cool Aza Rene carrying 57kg at $21.10. Game in defeat at last start. Drawn well. Obvious threat again.

First starter by Ocean Park out of Scarlet O'Hara. Third on January 28 at Ashburton in her only trial. Trained on the track and should be primed to run well despite a tricky barrier. Dam has left three winning foals with Second Slip (8 wins) most prolific.

First starter by Super Seth out of Amanjena. Only trial was May 20 at Ashburton when third over 1000m. Dam has left three winning foals with Mr Marrakech (2 wins) most prolific. Barrier an advantage. Looks set for bold showing.
