Stayer a live chance at Trentham
Chance To Dance’s Gr.1 Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup (3200m) campaign steps up a gear at Trentham today.
The Teofilo nine-year-old tackles the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Trentham Stakes (2100m), looking to claim his first win in more than a year.
That last win came in the Gr.3 OMF Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie in November 2017 under weight-for-age conditions but the Jamie Richardstrained stayer reverts to set weights and penalties today and looks well placed at just 3kg above the minimum. “He gets in well at the weights on Saturday. He enjoys the chip out of the ground now as he’s a bit older too,” Richards said.
TAB bookmakers opened him as a $2.60 favourite for the Trentham Stakes today.
