Wyndspelle (pink and silver colours)

Trainer Donna Logan has opted to set smart two-year-old Wyndspelle for the Gr.1 Courtesy Ford Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Awapuni on April 2 instead of crossing the Tasman in the immediate future with the colt.
Logan, who prepares the son of Iffraaj in partnership with Chris Gibbs, had initially thought about a tilt at the A$1 million Gr.1 Sires' Produce on the same day at Randwick following Wyndspelle's fast finishing second to Heroic Valour in the Gr.1 Diamond Stakes.
"He'll look to Awapuni now and he's screaming out for 1400m based on his run on Saturday," Logan said.
"Small fish are sweet and if he went well at Awapuni we can always go to Australia for the mile of the Champagne Stakes or the T.J Smith in Brisbane – there's options there."
