She's A Meanie may not be an everyday horse, but Paul Milich is hoping this is one of those days.
The Taupaki trainer would love to back up She's A Meanie's group one Avondale Cup win two starts back with a second victory at racing's elite level in this afternoon's $100,000 Whakanui Stud International Stakes at Te Rapa.
Milich is looking for a good run so he can send the class mare to the $S1 million Singapore Cup on March 3.
"She hasn't raced for five weeks, so I'll be happy if she doesn't have to do too much work in running."
Milich has a good mechanic for that endeavour in Lance O'Sullivan.
"She's drawn in handy, so she should get a good drag along mid-field or slightly worse on the rail."
Her effort to be two and a half lengths from Zonda at weight-for-age last start was a lot better than it looks as a seventh on paper.
She's A Meanie was ridden in the Avondale Cup by Peter Johnson, who will ride the likely favourite today, Giovana.
Ten winners today will join last week's 10 lucky Appeal of Zabeel punters to go into a draw to win one of the following:
* A service to Zabeel worth $120,000
* A choice of one of two Mercedes Benz vehicles valued at $125,000
* $100,000 cash
All bets of $20 or more go into the race-by-race draw.
