Te Rapa Race 2

DJ BLOODSTOCK 2YO

Prize Money: $59,091

SWORD OF STARS (4) was no match for a smart type on debut but still finished second, and she would have taken a lot out of that run. She has been given time to get over that hit-out and is poised to go one better here. SPELLBOUND (1) has the experience advantage over the top 2 picks, and he was third in the Counties Stakes 3 weeks ago. He can settle just in behind the early pace and should be hitting the line strongly. Hard to beat. DASHING DIXIE (6) makes her debut with the advantage of the pole position. She has some good breeding and is in the right stable to be a top 4 chance. ZIPPIDY (7) makes her debut from a leading stable, and she is sure to be ready despite not been seen publicly at the trials. Check the market.

Fair effort last start, beaten 2.25 lengths into third over 1100m at Pukekohe. Among the chances based on that latest performance.

Trialled before racing and then overcame difficulties in running to finish second on debut over 1100m at Ellerslie. Will take valuable race experience from that outing. Will be there at the business end.

Daughter of Turn Me Loose from She's Slinky making her debut. Hasn't trialled publicly. Will pay to keep an eye on betting moves.
