Shenandoah (inside)
Trish Dunell
Leading rider Lisa Allpress was pleasantly surprised with the run of the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained juvenile Shenandoah and believes she is a filly with a future.
The first starter finished runner-up to Wyndspelle on Saturday at Te Rapa, racing on the much maligned inside section of the track.
"She's a nice filly and Trent and Natalie definitely weren't expecting such a bold showing," Allpress said.
"They decided to put her in because of the lack of nominations and she went really well.
"She was down on the inside, but I don't think it was the track that tripped her up, but rather her lack of ringcraft and that will really bring her on for next time. I think she will be hard to beat next start."
