Punters looking to make Prowess their multi-anchor at Te Rapa tomorrow shouldn’t be put off by the fact her trainers have chosen the easier of two options for her.
Co-trainer Robert Wellwood is adamant the Prowess that turns up in the $140,000 Ellis Classic will be every bit as potent as the one who triumphed in the stunning Karaka Classic Mile.
Prowess beat one of the Herbie Dyke favourites in Wild Night and 1000 Guineas winner Legarto in the $1 million three-year-old race at Pukekohe on January 21 last start and was then touted as a contender for the Herbie Dyke.
But trainers Wellwood and Roger James decided to return to fillies’ company at 2000m rather than taking on the older horses.
