1:30 p.m. R3 7 Xtravert  (3 g Xtravagant - Doyenne) - Joe Kamaruddin (2); sustained a strong run widest in the straight for second when trialling on 13 December at Rotorua, and debuts in the $12,000 Maiden 1200 metres. He is by record-breaking Te Akau 2000 Guineas (Gr. 1, 1600m) winner Xtravagant (Pentire) from a stakes' placed winner of six races to 2000 metres, Doyenne (Kilimanjaro). Bred for further, but her is capable of cheeky run from barrier one.
