COOL AZA RENE (1) resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 800m at Otaki. Placed in a recent trial. Expected to go very well. BETTER SHARED (6) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1100m at Riverton after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. OPTIONS OPEN (10) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson. By Darci Brahma from Optimiser. Comes here off an Ashburton trial placing. Expect a bold run. ETERNAL LIGHT (5) is a well bred two-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Jon Snow from Suriyan who has produced a winner at stakes level. Has only trialled once and was successful at Ashburton. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race.
