Celebrity Miss wins 2015 Jakkalberry Rotorua Plate Listed NZ$50,000 at Arawa Park (NZ), 1950m.
Celebrity Miss, from barrier six, was quickly into stride and grabbed a handy spot one off the rail with a round to go. On the far bend she moved up to second, a length from the leader (All The Way), holding that position down the back straight and deep into the home turn. Prior to straightening, she took over and by the 150m pulled clear and was never in danger, hitting the line strongly.
Pondarosa Miss was wide down the back and made her move, three wide, rounding the home turn. Once balanced, out in the middle of the track, she tried to catch the winner who was well clear and only in the dying stages did she make any impression.
Smartly raced just in front of Ponderosa Miss down the back and ranged up, three wide, before straightening and looked to challenge, racing neck and neck with Ponderosa Miss, who finished slightly better.
All The Way led until just before the straight and fought well, the first four home being clear of the rest.
