Tauherenikau Race 2

WAIBUILD 2YO 1000

Prize Money: $16,818

Tough race with all 2yos making their debut here. CHOOSIN TEXAS (3) created a big impression when she stormed home out wide from last to win an 850m Foxton trail on October 13 in 52 seconds. The jockey didn't move that day. Take beating here. UNCORKED (6) sat outside the leader and was a bit green in the straight but fought on well for 3rd in an 850m Foxton trial October 29 in 54.57 seconds. Nice draw for her debut here. SWEET LOVE (5) led them up and responded when asked, beaten 2L 4th and a head behind UNCORKED in the recent Foxton trail. Beaten 1L 3rd behind CHOOSIN TEXAS in her previous trial. Consider. MEAN AMBITION (2) jumped well to hold the rail and battled on fairly for a 3.5L 4th in an 800m Matamata Trial run in 48.93. Place looks best. LE ZAIN BOLT (4) hard to get a line on as hasn't been seen at the trials. She's a half to Showgirl who ran 2nd to Kumara Straight at Ellerslie recently. Consider.
