3.06 p.m. R2 2 Probabeel (2 f Savabeel - Far Fetched) - Opie Bosson; impressed the rider when winning at the trials in October at Waipa, beating subsequent stakes winner Bavella (Snitzel), and debuted with a very game performance for second in the 2YO 1000 metres on 10 November at Te Rapa. She ran the fastest last 600m (33.4). With the addition of side winkers, she contests the $20,000 Maiden 2YO 1100 metres and looks hard to beat. Fixed odds: $1.50 & $1.02.

Up in grade against a very good field for the $30,000 Rating 72 1400 metres, she is ideally drawn (2) and rates a top five chance. Fixed odds: $12.00 & $3.90.
