New Plymouth Raceway Race 4

ITM NEW PLYMOUTH 1200

Prize Money: $16,818

I PROMISE (2) has won both trials this prep, with strong gallops in or near the lead throughout. Beat Playbill who ran 2nd on debut at Waverley on Sunday. Ready for a bold debut. GRAND CAPITALIST (4) Held out Thunder In Motion at the trials last month then caught wide at Taupo when a 3L 6th. Improver. THE OH GEE (3) is a full brother to The Underbelly who won 7 and $165k. Led all the way in a recent trial. Very green but has upside. PRINCESS SABALENKA (10) a half sister to Hugo who won 5 and $350k. Won a trail in June and was a fair 4th at the trials October 13th. Place show. VIRIDIAN (11) makes her debut from the powerful Walker/Bergerson stable, and from a good draw with Michael McNab in the saddle, she will be ready to rumble.
