By Te Akau trained Champion Two-Year-Old Cool Aza Beel (Savabeel) who won the Karaka Millions 2YO and Group 1 Sistema Stakes, his dam Legal Girl (Star Witness) won twice to 1600 metres in Australia, and she shapes to race well of her rider can secure a decent trip from the slightly tricky barrier seven.
