Ellerslie Race 3

Skycity Eclipse Stakes (G2)

Stake: $225,000

ALMAKEITGOOD (6) Gave them all something to chase to win by 1 1/2L last start at Pukekura and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be around the mark at odds. TOO SWEET (8) Finished 2nd last start at Trentham. Placed at every start this preparation. Must respect. LA DORADA (7) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Te Rapa and having second career run. Respect. SWEET ICE (2) Assumed control from the start to win by a margin of 1 1/4L last run at Te Rapa and was a debutant last start. One at a decent price.
