Roger James & Robert Wellwood trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut and was purchased for NZD $ 260,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 1). Recent trial winner at Cambridge Synthetic. Watch for any market confidence.

Three-year-old filly (Satono Aladdin - Miss Krisdel) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Won a trial over 1000m at Tauranga on April 16. Will improve on whatever she does today.
