Nrm Auckland T'bred Breeders (G2)

Sex: FM Type: OPEN

This G2 1400m for fillies and mares was run at a solid clip and saw a $60 upset winner from the trail when the bias towards on pacers was rampant up to and including this fifth race on a card of nine races. Lasarla has won just one race from five starts prior but under WFA today she carried 57kg like all the rest so was very badly situated. However she jumped out well for a perfect sit behind a leader running along that would finish second and highlight the severe track bias in play today for over the half the meeting. The 4yo mare was the only runner chasing down the leader Somethingvain at the 400m and 200m before taking the lead 50m out to win by three-quarters of a length and clock 1:23.62. It was the fastest 1400m time on the day by over eight lengths impressively. Somethingvain set up this solid clip and was game in defeat with the long run home here at Pukekohe. Slice Of Class pierced through late for third near the line after being tardy and settling down in the rear duo so defied the track bias up until this point. Red Tsunami has come up super this season and ran another good race for fourth and really fought on well after losing her place and getting well back. Ruby Armani too lost her place early and got well back but ran home well closer in for fifth. Sewreel had an easy run midfield the inner and got off and came through turning for home before reaching third at the 200m. She was swamped the last little bit to go from a G2 third to end up sixth a neck away at the most. Big Dreamer was running well down the outer from back and wide. No More Tears fought on fairly to finish eighth after looming up for third money at the 200m. Aotearower was okay once into clear air after settling down in the rear duo. Francaletta was unbeaten coming into this and was a poor tenth beaten almost six lengths after racing handy the outer then moving up turning for home. She showed none of her customary ping or surge. The rest were well beaten and some other disappointments included Triaction (second up syndrome may be her excuse) and Girl Of My Dreams (she has a G1 second at WFA versus all comers in her record) in particular finished last beaten well over fifty lengths. Girl Of My Dreams sat outside the leader but was in reverse before the home turn and dropped out a clear last at the 200m before walking over the line. She was found to be suffering cardiac arrhythmia post race. The winner may well turn out to be the real deal but a word of caution as the track bias was so rampant for the first five races on the card that the racing was unfair to the vast majority of each field. Slice Of Class defied the pattern but did come through closer in from well back for a strong third. Red Tsunami and Ruby Armani both ran on well and look in for big seasons.
