NZ - Te Rapa - Race 4

MAZINO (8) bolted in when scoring an overdue maiden win at Waverley by 3 lengths, and her next 2 starts have been full of merit when only being claimed late after leading to finish runner-up. She is perfectly drawn this time, and she should take some pegging back. TALE OF THE GYPSY (7) won a BM65 here fresh up, and her next 3 starts have all been in much tougher fields. She is nicely placed at this level with the same weight that she carried when she won, and a form reversal is on the cards. CONVINCED (11) won on debut before tackling Stakes company in her last couple of starts, including her last run in the NZB Kiwi at Ellerslie just over 5 weeks ago. Dropping back to 6f at this level is the key, and she is worth another chance. SIBLING RIVALRY (6) was a solid third at Tauranga fresh. Include. SHAMELESS STAR (4) fought on well enough after racing handy to the pace in a stronger field at Trentham 15 days ago. She cops a wide draw, but Michael McNab keeps the faith, and so do we.
