Top Methven driver Ricky May expects Shania Patron to keep improving for the big three-year-old filly features at Addington over the next two weeks.
Shania Patron is a good each-way chance in a strong field for tonight's final Nevele R Series Heat, with the $100,000 final to be decided in a fortnight.
The ultra-consistent daughter of Holmes Hanover has been in May's care since last Sunday, being sent north by Wyndham trainer, Brendon McLellan.
"She had a few easy days after her fourth in the Southland Oaks Final at Invercargill on April 8, and hopefully she will be fit enough to be a chance this week," May said.
Shania Patron does race well on the road.
She won the two-year-old $70,000 Sires' Stakes Fillies' Championship at Addington, and repeated in the three-year-old Sires' Stakes Fillies Championship at Auckland.
Glacier Bay, back on track for the upcoming filly features, Vert Et Blanc, Braeside Star and Falcon Magic, look the main dangers.
