Matamata Race 5 - J SWAP CONTRACTORS LTD MATAMATA BREEDERS' STAKES

LARA ANTIPOVA (1) has won both of her starts to date without being tested, and the latest win was in the G2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes at Trentham 8 weeks ago. She has a home track advantage here, and she should remain unbeaten after this. LIGURIA (2) lifted strongly to score by a head in the Colin Jillings Juvenile Classic at Ellerslie a fortnight ago. She has more to offer and is the main threat to the top pick, if there is to be one. HAWEA (4) warmed up too late when finishing fourth in the same race at the second pick last time out. She is an improving filly who won't be a maiden for much longer. TE ENCUENTRO (6) flew home to score on debut in a decent field at Ellerslie just over 7 weeks ago. She has the breeding to go right on with the job, and she is a must for all combos.

Tackles better company here after she got the job done last time, scoring by 0.3 lengths in the Colin Jillings 2yo Classic over 1200m at Ellerslie. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

Tackles better company here after she found Liguria too strong last time, beaten 2.75 lengths in the Colin Jillings 2yo Classic over 1200m at Ellerslie. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
