Keep a lookout for newcomer Grand Duchess on debut

The NZB Progressive on the 1race programme will also see some pacey three-year-olds in action.

In a prelude to the big day, the training track on Dec 2 and 3 was abuzz.

Those at trackside saw some good gallops on Dec 2 and while it was more subdued on Dec 3, several runners caught the eye, such as new filly Grand Duchess.

From Siva Kumar’s yard, the Reliable Man three-year-old turned in a good piece of work when running the 600m in 39sec. That was after she loosened up with some cantering on the sand track.
