Queens Rose wins 2015 Wealleans Tauranga Classic Listed NZ$50,000 at Tauranga (NZ) Fillies & Mares, 1400m.
Queens Rose again showed her liking for heavy going in scoring a good win here. She settled nicely outside the leader before making her move at the 600m when a number of runners put in bids. She grabbed a break on straightening (sticking close to the inside rail) and then fought back gamely when challenged at 200m to win very well.
The Filly was third on the rails before moving up well (between runners) to challenge nearing the home turn. She went to the centre of the track on turning for home, then put in a good run to join the leader at the 200m and fought well for a good second.
Threeyear-old filly Choice settled near the tail of the field, made a wide run approaching the home turn and kept making ground, without threatening, to take a sound third.
