Ellerslie Race 1 - EAGLE CHARTERS 1100
STATE OF VALOUR (1) fought on well enough for second in a 4-horse field at Matamata nearly a month ago, and he is looking more like the horse that won a trial very easily prior to making his debut. On top for us. CAPITAL EXPRESS (3) was a touch disappointing on debut at Ellerslie after winning both of his lead-up trials. He has been given time to get over that run and was runner-up in a recent trial. Stick with him. Can win. SEIZE THE DAY (4) makes his debut from the powerful Walker/Bergerson stable, and with a recent trial win to his credit, he can hit the ground running here. ROSE AYE REIGN (9) is a well-bred filly making her debut, and she has won a recent trial on this track. The market will be the best guide. SUMMER SCHEMER (10) is a trial-winning daughter of Dirty Work, making her debut. She has the pole position, and Craig Grylls in the saddle, which make her one to watch closely.

Settled on the speed at Matamata last start and wasn't far off the winner in second at the end of 1100m. Sure to feature.

Trialled well and then was a respectable fifth on debut at this track over 1200m. Will improve with the race experience on board. Sure to play a major role.

Unraced 2yo colt who has trialled five times. Was impressive when winning trial on February 10 at Ellerslie over 800m. Big chance to make an immediate impact.

Gelding by Noverre from Oceans Eight on debut. Ran fourth at recent trial and stable have a strong strike rate with the first starters. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

By the sire Home Affairs and from the stakes-winning mare Rasa Lila. Won a recent Ellerslie trial and stable strike-rate with debutantes is strong. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.
