THE NEW ZEALAND TROPHY 1600m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong early tempo with Baby Kiss and Admire Zoom leading the way. ADMIRE ZOOM (7) has not been sighted since he scored a commanding win in the Grade 1 Futurity over 1600m at Kyoto on December 15. Promising miler who can win again if he brings that latest performance to the table. CAUGHT ALLICIANT (2) opened this prep last start with a fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in the Grade 3 Queen Cup over 1600m at Tokyo. UP in grade but worth following. PRETTY DIVA (12) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1400m in Listed grade at Tokyo ten weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings first-up from two tries. One of the contenders. IMMIGRANT SONG (13) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo when resuming after a spell. Much stiffer assignment here but can figure in the finish.
