Replique
the Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes at Wingatui.
More than five months have passed since the first leg of the Series, the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes in mid-September, and a lot has changed in that time. Just one filly from that race will line up on Saturday - the northern visitor Princess Davone (NZ) (Iffraaj), who picked up 1 point when finishing third.
Other runners in the $50,000 contest include the last-start Southland Guineas winner Replique (NZ) (Darci Brahma) and the black-type placegetter Alyth (NZ) (Librettist).
The winner of Saturday's race will receive 7 Series points, with 3 points for second and 1 for third.
