Avantage Shares Favouritism

The NZ Herald reports:

Avantage is the horse who has only lost once in her career and has a strong chance in the $A1 million Arrowfield Sprint while he also rides maiden Clementina in the ATC Oaks.

"She was actually all right last week and the 2400m at Randwick will suit her," says Bosson of his Oaks chance.

"But of all my rides on Saturday I am looking forward to Avantage the most. She had to be really good to win last start and she was only 90 per cent then. She will be better on Saturday."

She will need to be as Avantage is taking on some slick Aussie three-year-olds at their own 1200m game headlined by Zousain, last-start Galaxy fourth placegetter Encryption and the exciting Classique Legend.

The latter shares opening favouritism with Avantage, a very rare position for a Kiwi-trained three-year-old in a group one Australian sprint race. Bosson says Avantage can race up to that honour.

"She has real x-factor, she is so strong and determined," he says.

"She shouldn't have been able to win last start and she has the draw. She can do it."
