Stake: $35,000

COOL AZA RENE (1) resumes after break of five-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 800m at Otaki. Placed in a recent trial. Should be winning this. OPTIONS OPEN (10) is a two-year-old filly on debut from stable of Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson. By Darci Brahma from Optimiser. She has had three trials prior to her debut today and placed in all of them. Dam has left Richard Stomper (4 wins). Promising type who can make an immediate impact. ETERNAL LIGHT (5) is a well-bred two-year-old filly lining up for the first time. Looked good in a recent trial win. Inside barrier will assist. Dam has left five winning foals with Eternal Flame (5 wins) the most prolific. Looks set for a bright start to her career. BETTER SHARED (6) is an improver on last start. Better drawn in this. EL VAQUERO (2) was well-supported at debut when 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. Won two trials prior. Wide draw.

Not seen since she finished last in a small field at Trentham in G2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes December 21 over 1100m, 8 len behind Intention carrying 55kg at $2.80. At her first start won by 1.3 len Otaki October 19 over 800m defeating Sierra Leone with 55kg at $2.30. Trial second last month. Looks the winner here.

Bruce Tapper trained two-year-old filly lining up for debut. Looked good in a recent trial win. Inside barrier will assist. Dam has left five winning foals with Eternal Flame (5 wins) the most prolific. Looks set for a bright start to her career.

At very big odds at debut, sat behind speed prior to fading 9th of 14 at Riccarton Park on March 22 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Zelia carrying 53kg at $91.40. Second-up crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 12 at Riverton on April 19 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Four The Moment carrying 52kg at $7.20. Improver on last start. Better drawn in this.

Two-year-old filly (El Doute - Ajay Tee). She has three trials leading in today's debut for a third and a fourth. Many in this are stronger prospects.
